Festival

Festival presentation: 

Buff Enterprises organises the annual British Urban Film Festival in London. It also makes reality shows and produces documentaries profiling independent film in the UK. It also publishes a monthly blog which features insider news and opinion on the UK film industry.

 

Buff Enterprises launched in July 2005 with the aim to provide a healthy alternative to the showcasing of urban independent cinema in the UK. Since then, there has been a concerted effort by the UK film industry to address this imbalance in the cinema landscape both on and off screen. As a publisher-broadcaster, Buff has played its' part in developing and attracting audiences who have shown both passive and active interests in this genre. The annual British Urban Film Festival is the only festival of its' kind in the UK and has become a trusted source for film fans keen to tap into one of the fastest growing creative industries in the UK.
