THE 9TH ANNUAL BRITISH DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL HERE AND NOTHING CAN BE SO DEAR. This is the The Film Festival Guild’s 4th and final entry of the year (until next year) and finishing off with a blast presenting a documentary about the most controversial and troubled comedian in the UK "Ian Cognito: A Life and A Death Onstage”.
For nearly ten years The British Documentary Film Festival has been growing and are proud of the dynamic, important and creative documentaries they’ve had the opportunity to screen in many of London’s best cinemas. Accepting documentaries from all around the world, all lengths and all budgets; looking for passionate stories well told and need to be seen.
ABOUT THIS INCREDIBLE EVENT PROGRAMME
This will be hosted at the Close-Up Cinema in Shoreditch, London, and you are invited to an evening of exclusive short and feature films for one night only. This is an incredible opportunity to see some of the brightest up and coming documentary filmmakers as this film festival helps to support, showcase and promote independent filmmaking that encompasses a wide spectrum.
We begin with a tightly curated short documentary film selection with Orca in Generations of Sound, Under the Surface, The Ginger Arrows and Rush. This will be followed by the feature premier of Ian Cognito: A Life and A Death Onstage. A documentary about one of the most popular, controversial and troubled comedian in the UK and features interviews from such comedians as Matt Lucas, Jo Brand and James Acaster. The screening will begin and end with live Q&A sessions with the filmmakers, hosted by BAFTA award-winning actor Stuart Brennan, and the film festival will conclude with the announcement of our BDFF award winners to celebrate the creative achievements of independent documentary filmmakers.
SUPPORTING CREATIVES
This important festival also serves to help support, collaborate with and promote local creatives and to help encourage more local connections and the growth of the British Documentary Community!
A NOTE FOR CREATIVES
London has a thriving festival scene and we invite distributors, press, sales agents and financiers to each screening, so if you’re looking for ways to promote your film further, we’re here to help. There are several awards up for grabs, to celebrate the very best of the submissions received, curated from this Official Selection.

LOOKING TO GET SPOOKED?
You are invited to an interactive game event where you will visit creepy buildings, monuments and verifiable ghost sightings hotspots that are truly haunted. The experience will play out like you’re the main characters of a movie, only that you’re experiencing everything in the first person! Fun dialogue, intrigue, and unexpected interactions are guaranteed. Let's play a real-world adventure!
FIRST
We will meet for drinks and to download the app at the Elegant Italian Caffe Concerto. A table will be booked under the hideout.
THEN
We head to the assigned starting point📍in Bond Street station. The route you will follow is full of haunted and spooky places, mysterious clues and challenges, and real facts/accounts from the past and present followed by pub drinks.
MORE ABOUT THIS INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE
The game is an interactive activity where you are guided by a mobile app through the city. With it, you follow directions and solve very fun puzzles, riddles, and cryptic codes. During the game, you will also visit popular and hidden places in the city while learning fun (and we mean it) stories about them. This is a storytelling experience just as much.
