Chapter 5 UK Talent Awards for UK films and talent in 2019/20 BFI Research and Statistics Unit 26 March 2020 1. Key Points In the 2019/20 award cycle, UK film and talent won 26 awards (13% of possible awards) across the five major film festivals in 2019 and Academy Awards® and BAFTA Film Awards in 2020. UK film and talent won seven awards at the Sundance, Cannes, Vienna and Toronto film festivals. UK film and talent won 13 awards at the BAFTA Film Awards in 2020, and six awards at the 2020 Academy Awards® across a range of award categories, including cinematography, costume design, and short subject documentary. 2. Awards for UK films and talent This release showcases the awards won by UK talent and films at the major film award ceremonies and film festivals in the 2019/20 awards cycle. The film award ceremonies included here are the Academy Awards® and BAFTA Film Awards held in 2020, and the major film festivals included are the Berlin, Cannes, Sundance, Toronto and Venice festivals held in 2019. Table 1 shows the total number of awards won collectively across festivals and the awards cycle for 2019/2020 and the calendar year 2019, in order to compare with previous years. UK films and talent won 26 awards in the 2019/20 awards cycle (the five main film festivals in 2019 and the British Academy Film Awards and Academy Awards® in 2020). Discounting UK-specific awards such as the Outstanding British Film award from the British Academy Film Awards, this means that UK films and talent won 13% of all available awards for international talent. (Awards specific to foreign nationals or films, for example the Toronto International Film Festival’s award for Best Canadian Film, are also not included in the analysis). This is slightly up from 25 award winners (13%) in the 2018/19 award cycle. Looking at the awards won in the 2019 calendar year, UK films and talent won 25 awards, representing 14% of the awards available. This number is down from 28 in 2018, but the UK industry accounts for a similar share (14%) owing to a slight fall in the number of awards available.

Sam Mendes’ technically ambitious war film 1917 led the pack in the number of accolades by sweeping the British Academy Film awards in seven categories and winning three American Academy awards. Two British documentaries won two awards apiece – For Sama at Cannes and at the British Academy Film Awards, and the short documentary Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (If You’re a Girl) at the British Academy and American Academy awards. In addition to prizes won by UK films, British talent won three awards for work on international films. Jacqueline Durran won both the British and American Academy awards for costume design in Little Women, and Mick Jagger with Giuseppe Capotondi and Donald Sutherland won an award at the Venice International Film Festival for The Burnt Orange Heresy. Julie Andrews was also awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at Venice.

  • Golden Icon Award to Judi Dench
    Golden Icon Award to Judi Dench From the Queen of England to secret agent James Bond’s superior: there’s no character that Judi Dench cannot play. Born in York in 1934, this exceptional actor already attracted a great deal of attention during her early theatre career with the Royal Shakespeare Company. She received a record-breaking eight Olivier Awards during her life on stage. Dench, who first appeared on screen in the drama THE THIRD SECRET (1964), went on to accumulate six Academy Award nominations, before finally winning an Oscar for her short but extraordinary portrayal of Elisabeth I in SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE (1998). Her most memorable roles include playing a teacher in NOTES ON A SCANDAL (2006) and the title role in Stephen Frears’ PHILOMENA (2013). Dench played the legendary „M“ in the James Bond franchise, from GOLDENEYE in 1995 to SPECTRE in 2015. This versatile character actor also delighted critics and audiences alike in the TV series A FINE ROMANCE (1981–1984) and AS TIME GOES BY (1992–2004). The British Dame will travel to Zurich to present her most recent film RED JOAN, which screens after she receives the accolade at the Corso cinema on October 3.

  • Britain, Canada and the Arts -- Major International, Interdisciplinary Conference
    H-Announce CFP: Britain, Canada and the Arts -- Major International, Interdisciplinary Conference Announcement published by Irene Morra on Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Type: Call for Papers Date: June 15, 2017 Location: United Kingdom Subject Fields: British History / Studies, Canadian History / Studies, Cultural History / Studies, Humanities, Theatre & Performance History / Studies Britain, Canada, and the Arts: Cultural Exchange as Post-war Renewal 15-17 June 2017 CALL FOR PAPERS Papers are invited for a major international, interdisciplinary conference to be held at Senate House, London, in collaboration with ENCAP (Cardiff University) and the University of Westminster. Coinciding with and celebrating the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation, this conference will focus on the strong culture of artistic exchange, influence, and dialogue between Canada and Britain, with a particular but not exclusive emphasis on the decades after World War II. The immediate post-war decades saw both countries look to the arts and cultural institutions as a means to address and redress contemporary post-war realities. Central to the concerns of the moment was the increasing emergence of the United States as a dominant cultural as well as political power. In 1951, the Massey Commission gave formal voice in Canada to a growing instinct, amongst both artists and politicians, simultaneously to recognize a national tradition of cultural excellence and to encourage its development and perpetuation through national institutions. This moment complemented a similar post-war engagement with social and cultural renewal in Britain that was in many respects formalized through the establishment of the Arts Council of Great Britain. It was further developed in the founding of such cultural institutions as the Royal Opera, Sadler’s Wells Ballet, the Design Council and later the National Theatre, and in the diversity and expansion of television and film.
