Competition titles will vie for a Grand Jury Prize, and work by emerging artists will be considered for the Modern Maverick Award, to be presented by Roger Corman (who also will receive an award).<\/p>\n<p>\nIn addition to featuring overseas productions shot in the Bahamas, BIFF organizers plan to spotlight the nation&#8217;s nascent industry by showing work from local filmmakers.
