Beautiful Bermuda

Sixteen films, a mix of 8 feature dramas and 8 feature documentaries, will compete for the BIFF Jury Awards, which will be given out at a gala Awards Ceremony on Saturday evening, March 24. The Festival will also present a tribute to Czech Cinema, a World Cinema Showcase of winners at previous international film events, and a retrospective tribute to Bermuda-born actor Earl Cameron, showcasing his classic films of the 1950s and 1960s. The Festival also marks its tenth birthday by offering retrospective screenings of a host of titles that were celebrated over the Festival's first decade.

I will be covering all the festivities for you, so I invite you to log on frequently for the films, the festivities, the flavor and the fun of the 2007 edition of the Bermuda International Film Festival.
