5 days left to submit your film to the British Urban Film Festival.

Since 2005, BUFF has been a launchpad for underrepresented filmmakers across the UK and beyond.

From shorts to features, documentaries to series, we’ve premiered over 1,000 stories — and yours could be next.

This year’s edition marks our 20th anniversary, and we’re programming screenings and special events over the coming weeks and months.

We’re looking for work that’s bold, relevant, and unapologetically original.

Whether you’re established or emerging, this is your call.

Submit now via @filmfreeway

The prayers were answered for Director Franz Bohm and producer Hayder Rothschild Hoozeer on Sunday 16 February at St George The Martyr church in Bloomsbury when BUFF hosted its first ever BAFTA watchparty in the company of actor Milosh Luchanko whose film “Rock, Paper, Scissors” took home the award for British Short Film. A historic moment for the cast and crew, for Ukraine and for the BAFTA Qualifying British Urban Film Festival in its 20th year.

There’s BAFTA parties, and then there’s BUFF BAFTA WATCHPARTIES.

We’re all set and looking forward to hosting our VIP guests in Bloomsbury to celebrate the @BAFTA nomination of “Rock, Paper, Scissors”. Not a bad way to officially kick-off our 20th anniversary year!

Here’s hoping @Hoozeer & Franz that all of your prayers are answered when that golden envelope is opened!

Another great watch party in January with our jurors! 🎬🍿
Watch parties are a great way for us to come together every month and debate on chosen films and topics - whilst also remembering what BUFF is about 💪🏾💙
