Dear friends,
Every year we’re able to send out more and more ravens into the world. Ravens? We mean of course the genre film projects that get developed into full-fledged features thanks (in part) to BIF Market participation. We wouldn’t be able to breed as many wonderful specimens without the numerous professional partners we collaborate with… A number of partners that increases each edition.
As we prepare a festive 10th edition of the BIF Market, we’re thrilled to announce new prizes within our Hatching Ravens and Raven Eggs sections, made possible thanks to the continued support of our amazing partners.
Quick reminder: the 10th edition of the BIF Market will take place both online from April 7 to May 8, 2026 and on-sitefrom April 13 to 17, 2026.
