The line-up of talented filmmakers in this year’s Festival – the 18th – has once again impressed the BBFF team with their display of precisely those qualities, creating cinematic experiences that go beyond entertainment to become art.
Urgent contemporary issues as well as age-old mysteries of the human condition are explored with wit and no little wisdom in this selection. Among them are the matters of death and grieving, sexual identity (and bullying), the creative impulse, loneliness, mental health, peer pressure and the challenges faced by migrants.
