The Burbank International Film Festival continues its primary mission of fostering a diverse creative spirit and promoting up-and-coming artists in the center of the entertainment industry. Burbank possesses a rich history of movie making magic where you can dine in the same restaurant booth where Michael Mann shot “Heat” or stay in the same Hotel room where “True Romance” was filmed. Burbank provides a unique film festival experience, because filmmakers showcase their movies in the exact same AMC 16 Theaters where Robert Pattinson attended the premiere of “Batman” and Austin Butler/Baz Lurhman surprised audiences with their appearance at a screening of “Elvis”: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10944081/Elvis-director-Baz-Luhrmann-star-Austin-Butler-shock-fans-surprise-appearance-screening.html

BIFF’s schedule of films comprises cinema of every genre, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy. BIFF also continues to introduce new Awards categories to honor the talented craftspeople behind the scenes. The four-day festival includes 130+ film screenings; Q&A’s featuring celebrities and industry professionals; fabulous red carpet receptions; audience awards; and informative panels. BIFF culminates with the Closing Night Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony which is the highlight of the Festival. We shine a light on the unknown artists of today, helping them become the celebrated filmmakers of tomorrow.
