BIFA 2022

-

BIFA (British Independent Film Awards) is an internationally renowned organisation that celebrates, promotes, and supports independent filmmaking and filmmakers in the UK.

Founded in 1998, BIFA has championed the best and most innovative independently funded British filmmaking for over 20 years, working at the heart of the industry to nurture emerging talent, promote fair practice, and develop a broader, more inclusive audience for British independent film.

We are driving a British independent film revival, harnessing the power of British creativity to change lives through independent film.

Many awards are given to films which are experimental and something unusual, these types of films would never be produced by large Hollywood production companies as they would not appeal to the large audience masses, meaning less profit.

AFTERSUN AWARDS:

  • BEST BRITISH INDEPENDENT FILM
  • BEST SCREENPLAY
  • BEST DIRECTOR
  • THE DOUGLAS HICKOX AWARD (BEST DEBUT DIRECTOR)
  • BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY
  • BEST EDITING
  • BEST MUSIC SUPERVISION

I included lots of pictures which inspired me alongside some photographers and film directors. I have now presented to my class last week, and the feedback from my class was very positive with the majority of them really liking my second idea about a homeless man and a blind home owner. They also really liked my third idea however many of them said to develop it further and give a more clear cut narrative and plot.  Taking feedback after presenting my initial idea about “A middle aged single man who seems to have no friends or family. He lives in London living a very basic life working in the city. He follows the same basic routine and does not seem to have a desire for anything more complex or challenging in his life. However one day he finds himself thinking about what could have been and how he has never lived life to the fullest finds himself fantasying a...
