About
In October 1993, the Raindance Film Festival was born, premiering at London’s Prince Charles Cinema and Ciné Lumière. The festival now runs annually in June in London’s West End, showcasing groundbreaking films from emerging and established filmmakers worldwide. In 1998, Raindance created the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA), an annual celebration of the best UK independent films of the year, held every December. Past winners include My Name is Joe, Billy Elliot, Vera Drake, This Is England, Slumdog Millionaire, Aftersun, and All of Us Strangers. (Source: https://raindance.ac.uk/)
