BAFTA Film Committee Chair, Anna Higgs, said:
Huge congratulations to the 80 feature films that have been longlisted today, it isan incredible achievement to progress from 235 movies under consideration in this year’s EE BAFTA Film Awards. It’s been an exceptional year for filmmaking featuring bold creative voices and inspiring stories from independent films to global blockbusters,highlighting the incredible breadth of talent working in our industry today.
What I love about the Film Awards season is that it generates real excitement and passion for film and filmmaking. From BAFTA’s research, we know that this buzz directly impacts cinema-going,so that film fans feel part of the Awards conversation. Our BAFTA voters now have the unenviable task of deciding which of these films will make it onto the nominations list.”
