Biberach Independent Film Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Biberach Independent Film Festival (B.I.F.F.) had its premiere in November 2004 in the southwestern German town of Biberach an der Riß (situated just south of Ulm. The Festival is for a German audience and will present recent German and international shorts and documentaries.
B.I.F.F. runs parallel to a local festival of German movies - the "Filmfest Biberach" - which focuses mainly on feature films.
[edit] Categories
The B.I.F.F. competition accepts entries in the following categories:
I: Transformat – This category is about changes, whether from 16mm to DVD, male to female, swords to plowshares, feature to short, etc.
II: Setbacks/Backlash The times they are a-changing – for the worse. Broken dreams and social decline. And striking back. Against globalisation etc.
III: Beyond Germany Exciting things are happening in the field of documentaries and experimental shorts outside of Germany. In Asia, Africa, etc. And German film makers see the world.
IV: Blood relations Violence within and outside the family. Forced or desired. Relations between victims. Bullies, terrorists, violent offenders and their victims
V: Camp! High camp and trashy entertainment. How bad can it get? And what turns trash into cult movies?
