British Independent Film Awards December 1, 2019

Over the past 28 years, Raindance has grown to be the biggest independent film festival in the UK, attracting the boldest and freshest voices in cinema worldwide year after year. Raindance created The British Independent Film Awards in 1998 by Raindance to celebrate independent film and filmmakers.

Raindance is a platform for emerging filmmakers and creators, regardless of who they are or where they are from.

It takes a community to make a movie, and even a larger community to sustain and support the independent spirit we keep alive at Raindance.

We need you to make it happen. Join Raindance as a patron. Make a real difference to the festival you love. You can help keep Raindance independent.

Description

A patron plays a very important role in the changes we wish to implement in the film industry. We value the support that we are given and want you to be a part of our future. By supporting Raindance, you are supporting emerging talent and leaving a stamp in the history of film. You can become an integral part of the Raindance spirit and have access to events that feature artists who are working effortlessly to tell stories which change the world.

Raindance patrons receive unrivalled access to the Raindance Film Festival and the British Independent Film Awards, plus year round benefits.

We continuously follow the latest trends in technology, the film industry and most importantly the world around us. Raindance is pleased to be able to give a platform to emerging filmmakers and creators. 

During the 27th Raindance Film Festival in 2019 and with very little budget, we were proud to host events and panels in which professionals discussed the future and current state of the film industry and the diversity it deserves to represent, including Off-screen Diversity, Parental Parity, Queer Love Stories, Green Filmmaking, Mental Health, Emerging Filmmakers, and the F-Rated Programme celebrating female creatives.

To continue our mission to promote diversity in the film industry and to discover the brightest and most talented filmmakers who will make this industry a better place, we need help of our patrons.

Raindance is responsible for the resurgence of filmmaking in the UK and deserves your support
Ken Loach

As a patron, you gain access to:

  • The British Independent Film Awards, which aim to highlight and reward the best, most innovative and creative independent filmmaking and filmmakers in the UK
  • Raindance’s Independent Filmmakers Ball, a fundraising event with proceeds going to the 28th Raindance Film Festival, and in particular to our Emerging Filmmaker’s Day, a day of free events aimed at 16-25 year old young filmmakers.
  • Raindance Film Festival, the UK’s largest independent film festival. Patrons can choose to promote a film, filmmaker or topic that they are passionate about by sponsoring the screening

The Raindance Film festival and the British Independent Film Awards make a unique and very special contribution to the UK. They should be taken very seriously.
