After five years, we still aren't able do certain things. For instance, BIFED still does not require a submission fee. BIFED still sustains itself through local sources and solidarity. BIFED does not follow the latest trends and take interest in only the popular films of the year, which hop from one festival to another like butterflies. BIFED programmes documentaries concerned about the problems caused by their own society, state, region and which are not exploiting the Global South as exotic material. At BIFED, we try to share everything on our island with our guests as much as we can.
 
If this worldwide madness will not destroy this beautiful blue planet, the documentaries that you make against all odds and with great courage are truly important as an invaluable part of a great resistance. We hope to welcome you on our island. Let’s watch these documentaries together to feel the reassurance that we are not alone to worry about the state of the world. In solidarity.
 
We are looking forward to see you at our festival, on our little island.
