The British Urban Film Festival was formed in July 2005 to showcase urban and Black British independent cinema in the absence of any such state-sponsored activity in the UK. Supported by filmmakers and British actors, the organisation was set up by Emmanuel Anyiam-Osigwe MBE. Now in its 16th year, the festival distributes, exhibits and produces films.
