As we’re into swing of awards season, it’s important that we cover everything from those established, right through to the up and coming. Today, BAFTA have announced that a feature-length package of films nominated in the British Short Film and British Short Animation categories at this year’s EE British Academy Film Awards will screen in UK cinemas from Friday 28 February and also tour internationally.
Selected screenings will also be followed by a Q&A with nominated filmmakers who will discuss their working process and creative inspirations. The UK-wide rollout of BAFTA Shorts 2014 begins with a special screening at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London on Friday 28th February, with other venues including the Riverside Studios in London, Watershed in Bristol and Broadway Cinema in Nottingham. If you’ve not seen the full list, well, here’s handy re-cap:
