BIFF is committed to introducing Burbank residents to the creativity of filmmakers from around the globe, and in return showing these filmmakers the wonderful hotel, eateries and experiences Burbank has to offer.
Burbank is home to world-famous studios and production houses including Warner Bros., The Walt Disney Company, The Burbank Studios, Universal Pictures, ABC, NBC, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. The Burbank International Film Festival captures its home city’s rich history and movie making magic by showcasing original cinematic art from around the globe.

Last year, BIFF announced the advent of the “Tim Burton Native Burbank Visionary Award” which is given to a local Burbank Filmmaker who captures the imagination of an audience just as Burbank native, Tim Burton, has done with his iconic movies. BIFF’s goal is to shine a light on the unknown artists of today, helping them become the celebrated filmmakers of tomorrow.
