One of the biggest Film Market in the United Kingdom!
Each year, the British Films Market (BFM) Expo transforms London into a hub where global distributors and independent filmmakers converge to make deals, share ideas, and find new opportunities for collaboration. It's a prime destination for filmmakers seeking distribution and a home for their projects, as well as for distributors scouting fresh, unique content from around the world.
Once your project is submitted, it is guaranteed a screening slot at BFM 2025! Your film will be shown in an intimate 40-seat cinema at the Curzon Cinema, creating a perfect setting to showcase your work. Both British and international productions are welcome to participate.
If, for any reason, your project is not selected for screening, rest assured that a full refund will be issued.
Please note that once we reach the maximum number of films that can be screened in a particular category, we will automatically close submissions for that category, even if the official deadline has not passed. This ensures that we can provide the best possible screening experience for all selected films, as well as manage the schedule effectively. We encourage filmmakers to submit their projects early to secure a spot in their desired category.
BFM stands apart by being held in conjunction with the renowned Breaking-TV Film Festival and DocuWorld Film Festival. This collaboration amplifies the event’s reach, creating a wider stage for selected films to be screened before influential audiences, including distributors and film enthusiasts alike.
After each screening at the British Films Market, filmmakers will have a dedicated 10-minute session for Questions and Answers (Q&A). This provides a unique opportunity for the audience, including industry professionals and fellow creatives, to engage directly with the filmmakers, explore the creative process, and gain deeper insights into the vision behind the projects. These sessions foster meaningful connections and discussions, creating a collaborative atmosphere that celebrates the art of filmmaking.
Spanning three exciting days, the BFM features engaging film screenings, an expansive expo, and the celebrated Breaking-TV Film Festival Awards Ceremony. These events offer unparalleled networking opportunities, allowing attendees to connect with decision-makers and like-minded professionals while exploring the latest trends in film and distribution.
Will I get any tickets?
For each project submitted to the British Films Market 2024, you will receive 10 complimentary BFM badges. These badges grant access to the event and allow your team to fully engage in screenings, networking opportunities, and other market activities. It's our way of ensuring that your key collaborators can be part of this exciting experience, supporting your film and making valuable industry connections.
Can I invite people to my screening?
Yes, you absolutely can and should invite people to your screening at the British Films Market 2025. This is your opportunity to market your premiere to the fullest, creating buzz and excitement around your project. While the BFM will actively promote your screening to all attendees and exhibitors, it's important that you take charge of reaching out to producers, TV studios, and other industry professionals to ensure they come and see your work. Your efforts in marketing your screening can make all the difference in attracting the right eyes to your film.
BFM is more than an event; it's a launching pad for creative visionaries and a catalyst for meaningful connections in the world of film.
Every film submitted will automatically be included in the official screening schedule, ensuring it is presented to an audience of industry professionals, including producers, distributors, and agents actively seeking fresh content. This is a unique chance to position your project in front of the right people, spark interest, and open doors to valuable opportunities for collaboration and distribution.
This is your chance to present your project to professionals actively seeking new content, sparking valuable conversations and potential deals.
