In the midst of the COVID 19 outbreak that took a toll on all of our lives, we want to keep you updated and reassured that we are aiming to go ahead as scheduled with the 6th annual edition of BELIFF festival in August 2021 at the wonderful Lyric Theatre in London. However, in the event the venue will be ordered to remain closed further down the line, we have been making preparations to shift our programme of the official selection online (protected by a paywall) and reach audiences worldwide as a useful and exciting alternative. We will endeavour to keep everyone informed and share another year of unique independent films from the utmost passionate of filmmakers.
Why you should submit to BELIFF:
- GUARANTEE your film will be watched! Every film submitted to our festival receives a brief feedback from an industry professional before due time (of notification date). On top of that we are happy to post on all our social media a brief message promoting any film that has submitted to our festival. The text and visual material must be provided by the submitter.
- Your film will get a chance of being SCREENED at LYRIC CINEMA, with a public of around 100 people. You also get direct feedback from the audience who will rate and offer impressions via our unique and specially designed rating forms.
We are proud to have supported some great independent film makers so far. Some of them won many more film festivals, obtained distribution and already started work on their new projects after attending our competition.
We are so happy to have been receiving so many wonderful feedbacks and reviews (so far only 5 star reviews) and feeling so supported.
We are interested in helping the independent cinema community and we are happy to repost and share any successes or future projects via social media, you just need to get in touch or tag us in your posts and we will re post, like, comment and help as much as we can.
