We’re proud to announce that Bournemouth International Film Festival (BIFF) is now an official member of the Dorset Chamber of Commerce and Industry – the leading voice of business across Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and the wider region.

Visit Dorset Chamber

As a not-for-profit organisation committed to cultural development, accessibility, and creative growth, this new partnership marks an exciting step for BIFF as we expand our connections across Dorset’s thriving business community.

Why This Matters

At its core, BIFF is about more than films — it’s about creating opportunity. We’re here to spotlight emerging talent, build bridges between industries, and support local growth through culture, creativity and commerce.

By joining the Dorset Chamber, we’re not just raising the profile of BIFF — we’re opening the door to collaborations, sponsorships, training, and visibility for businesses that want to reach an engaged, diverse, and dynamic audience.

A Win for Local Business

Whether you’re in hospitality, retail, tech, finance, or creative services, being part of BIFF offers real benefits:

• Access to audiences of thousands across the South Coast and UK
• Alignment with a mission-led, community-driven festival
• Opportunities for brand exposure, staff development, and CSR impact
• Inclusion in our year-round outreach, education, and industry events

As we gear up for BIFF 2025, this partnership is the perfect springboard to connect with like-minded businesses across Dorset and build something truly special — together.
