is different from other awards bodies in its process as well as its purpose. We’re here to champion British independent film and new filmmakers. To do that well, it’s vital that we give every film and filmmaker a fair shot.
However, we do admit to having a little fun on social at their expense: it was too good an opportunity to pass up to highlight some of the exceptional BIFA winners and nominees this year, who aren’t getting the attention they deserve. Examples include the all-female wins in Debut Director, Debut Screenwriter and Breakthrough Producer, and Sam Adewunmi and Ruthxjiah Bellenea’s victories for “The Last Tree” .
We added extra categories to showcase the best new British talent and we publish the lists of filmmakers who make it through the first round of voting. This allows us to put the spotlight on a bigger group of promising new filmmakers. And once we have assembled a representative set of voters and have been as inclusive as we can of all work being made in the U.K., we start the voting process.We make sure that every film entry is seen by a minimum number of voters in each category for which it is entered and that every film is discussed. We make sure that each voter sees a minimum proportion of the entered films in their category.
