#EEBAFTAs Follow BAFTA BAFTA.ORG 1

As President of BAFTA, I am delighted to welcome you to the EE BAFTA Film Awards, bringing us together to celebrate the many extraordinary films made over the last year and the people who bring them to life. Occasions like tonight are wonderful showcases for the creative skill that powers the British and global screen arts, as well as providing a list of fantastic films for audiences around the world to enjoy.

The screen arts are such an important part of the fabric of our nation. Our films, games and television shows are some of our best exports on the global stage, thanks to the skill, innovation and cultural dynamism of our country’s creative minds. But the industry relies on BAFTA to nurture the talent of tomorrow, so that budding filmmakers, no matter their background, have a real opportunity to bring their stories to life.

I know many in the room tonight have contributed to this important work in some way, whether through mentoring, offering time to an initiative, or financial support.

As a charity, BAFTA is hugely grateful to all those who support these endeavours. I am very proud to be involved with an organisation that is dedicated to breaking down barriers for the storytellers of the future. I warmly congratulate all the filmmakers whose work features in this year’s longlists and nominations, and I wish you all a wonderful evening.

HRH The Prince of Wales, k.g. k.t.

President of BAFTA

W E LC O M E It’s an honour to welcome you all this evening. Staging Britain’s biggest night of film is a unique and not-inconsiderable undertaking. The closely guarded 26 masks and gold envelopes backstage represent not only the pinnacle of achievement in film in the past year, they also represent year-long planning, preparation and dedication by a small and incredibly hardworking team of BAFTA staff and our partners, who bring this night to life. Thank you to you all.

The EE BAFTA Film Awards are peer voted by 7,800 expert creatives and practitioners from our UK and international membership. We are delighted that record levels of voting took place ahead of the nominations, with more hours watched on our streaming platform, BAFTA View, than ever before. From All of Us Strangers to The Zone of Interest, the A to Z of films this year proved unmissable.

Millions of people around the world are watching tonight on the BBC, Britbox and other outlets, many dreaming they might someday forge a successful career in the screen arts. It is thanks to the generosity of many of the guests present this evening, who donate to BAFTA and support our work as an arts charity, that we can continue to open doors for the next generation.

Congratulations to all this year’s nominees. We hope you all have a fantastic night.

Jane Millichip CEO, BAFTA

Sara Putt BAFTA Chair

E E W E LC O M E Looking back on the past year’s big screen successes, it’s impossible to look beyond the summer’s headline double act: Barbie and Oppenheimer.

Greta Gerwig’s riotous, candy-coloured feminist fable (thanks to Mark Kermode for that line) was a joy. And as BAFTA’s longstanding partners, everyone at EE could be proud to see Emma Mackey – last year’s EE Rising Star – play her part in the film’s success. Meanwhile, Florence Pugh’s turn in Christopher Nolan’s volatile and brilliant cinematic triumph saw another former EE Rising Star nominee go big at the box office.

We continue to celebrate the industry’s emerging talent with the EE Rising Star Award. Now in its 19th year, it remains the only category voted for by the British public. Best of luck to our shortlist for 2024: Phoebe Dynevor, Ayo Edebiri, Jacob Elordi, Mia McKenna-Bruce and Sophie Wilde.

I’ll leave you with a word on the EE Learn campaign we’re launching alongside this year's ceremony, which will showcase the importance of the arts and the impact they can have as a vehicle to develop life skills. Together, EE and BAFTA want to empower people to learn more, be more and do more.

Who knows – perhaps it will help one or two rising stars of the future on their way.

THE HOST David Tennant’s Opening Ceremonies tex t : paul simper

It started with Doug McClure and a dinosaur.

“ I LOV E M O M E N TS I N

F I L M W H E N T H E WO R L D S P I N S O N I TS A X I S ” – David Tennant

“It’s my earliest film memory,” says the actor, Scotsman and, in his latest role, BAFTA host.

“Summer holidays were spent at the theatre in Millport, on the isle of Cumbrae. We saw The Land That Time Forgot – not exactly Jurassic Park, but to my six-year-old self it was even better.”

Even as a moviegoer, monsters have always been a major draw for Tennant. Before the 1970s Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptations, he devoured the stop-motion creations of American-British animator Ray Harryhausen – including his 1963 masterpiece Jason and the Argonauts. “You can create anything on a screen So began a fascination with today with computers,” the the crafts of storytelling in actor considers. “But I think film, television and radio that the reason that his films has led Tennant from the still work is to do with the stages of Stratford-upon-Avon physical connection he had and the Donmar Warehouse to those models. You believed to the fantasy worlds of them. You understood that Harry Potter and the Goblet of you weren’t watching real Fire (2005) and Good Omens life but somehow, they were (2019); true crime character absolutely alive.” He cites studies playing figures from Aardman animations – who Alexander Litvinenko to returned this year with Dennis Nilsen; and a proud Chicken Run: Dawn of the tenancy of the Tardis as one Nugget – as a contemporary of the most beloved iterations example of the special quality of Doctor Who. of stop-motion craft.

11

Without revealing any of the surprises that were in store for filmgoers this year, a killer twist is another of Tennant’s prerequisites for a satisfying cinematic experience. “Goodfellas (1990) is one that I have the most vivid memories of. And ‘I see dead people’ (The Sixth Sense, 1999).

Those moments when the world spins on its axis and you think you’ve been watching one thing, but actually you’ve been watching something else entirely.”

Awards ceremonies usually come complete with their own rug-pulls, but tonight’s host was simply surprised

12

to receive the call in the first place – following such luminaries as Graham Norton, Stephen Fry and Rebel Wilson in the role of master of ceremonies.

“This was not a position I ever aspired to, but I am very thrilled to find myself in it,” Tennant says. “I don’t

mean to do anything other than keep it going. And there is a little machine that tells me what happens next.

Other than that, I feel sort of blissfully ignorant, like I am stepping out of a plane and assuming my parachute will work.” Whatever the landing, at least there is a Doctor in the house.

THE F E L L OW Samantha Morton’s Cult Credentials tex t : christina newl and

There’s an intrinsic wisdom and grit to this year’s BAFTA Fellowship recipient. On film, her characters have told the future in a dystopian America, journeyed to a commune for celebrity lookalikes, and hunted witches and wizards; they’ve also immigrated, brought up families, and experienced grief. Mostly, in one way or another, the women Samantha Morton has played have been survivors.

15

“ W H AT D R I V E S

ME CRA ZY IS WHEN I ’ M WO R K I N G W I T H P E O P L E T H AT D O N ’ T H AV E PA S S I O N . I F YO U LOV E F I L M , YO U S H O U L D H AV E A L I T T L E M O R E DA N G E R I N YO U. A V I S I O N I N YO U R H E A R T ” – Samantha Morton

16

“Films should be provocative.

Films should make people have conversations”, Morton says when we speak. She is calling from the set where she is directing a new, low-budget project in her hometown of Nottingham, as made by her own production company.

In true indie spirit, Morton can’t waste any time: all the while speaking passionately about acting and creativity, she is simultaneously eating a sandwich, getting into hair and makeup, and preparing to direct herself onscreen.

christina newland :

Congratulations on the BAFTA fellowship. How does it feel? samantha morton : I was

confused! I had to read the email a couple of times, and then I was very emotional.

My speech can’t be very long: I’ll have to get through everything I want to say in 90 seconds. cn : How important was

regional film community and support to your early career?

sm : I trained at the TV

workshop in Nottingham in the late 80s and early 90s.

Central TV and Carlton Studios funded the workshop. Sadly, the investment isn’t there for young people any more, because all the investment studios have pulled out. It’s heartbreaking because in the Midlands, much like Manchester or Leeds, the crews and the talent on offer are extraordinary. cn : It’s rare for an actor to

both have such a variety of roles and genres in their work, but to also maintain what feels like a particular sensibility. What are you thinking about when you look at a script? sm : I (strike a) balance between

television, independent cinema, and also trying to tell stories that I believe have to be told – and should be told – because of their social message. That’s massively important to me, with films (about real people) like Longford (2006) or Control (2007). I do enjoy playing working-class women, because that’s what I understand. But I can also play the queen of France! They just have to be utterly believable to me.

great, idiosyncratic filmmakers, from Harmony Korine to Darren Aronofsky. What do you look for in a director’s vision or approach?

sm : Lynne and I spent a lot

of time talking about her.

She’s been in care in the book, and that was something I identified with; the PTSD thing of feeling removed from the situation. She (carries) that from childhood, and so when her boyfriend kills himself, she is watching her own life.

My relationship with Lynne is one of so much inspiration and pride. I think she’s genuinely a genius in the way she sees the world.

sm : It’s my dream to work

with anybody that has a vision: please invite me to the party. I love watching them work, how they choose the shots, decide their camera movements, lighting decisions, editing, music. I like auteurs.

What drives me crazy is when I’m working with people that don’t have passion. If you love film, you should have a little more danger in you. A vision in your heart.

everybody is speaking all of the time. They might be listening. Or maybe they’re not listening; maybe they’re waiting to speak, or thinking of what they’re going to say.

That’s human behaviour.

I get to learn, I get to do what I love, be part of a family and learn about history.

It’s amazing. And I get to travel. I’m the luckiest girl in the world.

THE O U T S TA N D I N G CONTRIBUTION June Givanni unearths her PanAfrican Cinema Archive’s hidden threads tex t and co - curation : simran hans

In a chilly office overlooking London’s historic Fleet Street, June Givanni removes a small brass bird from inside a wooden box.

The bird’s head is turned, as though peering over its shoulder. The brooch was given to her as a gift by an artist, who crafted it after spending time in the June Givanni PanAfrican Cinema Archive while studying at Central Saint Martins.

They had been inspired by a concept that the curator, programmer and this year’s Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award recipient had taught them about.

Sankofa was the name of the pioneering film and video collective founded in 1983 by Black British artists Isaac Julien, Martina Attille, Maureen Blackwood, Nadine Marsh-Edwards and Robert Crusz. But sankofa is also “a philosophy,” says Givanni, originating from the Akan people of Ghana. “It’s about knowing the past to better guide your future, symbolised by a bird that’s looking back.”

Wasis Diop, from the original shooting script for Hyenas (Djibril Diop Mambéty, 1992, Senegal)

Givanni is the founder of the June Givanni PanAfrican Cinema Archive, which comprises more than 10,000 items that tell the story of filmmaking across Africa and the diaspora. Freestanding shelves are stacked with carefully labelled boxes containing precious items.

These include the original shooting script for Hyenas (1992), one of only two feature films made by Senegalese filmmaker Djibril Diop Mambéty, and rare copies of magazines that have ceased publication, like Ecrans d’Afrique and Black Film Bulletin, the latter of which Givanni started herself.

A programme from the Third Eye Festival of World Cinema in London is evidence that there has always been an audience for Black film, and a publication detailing the independent films that emerged from the grantaided, community led workshops commissioned

by Channel Four in 1986 are a reminder that vital groundwork for present-day investment in Black talent was being laid decades ago.

25

Givanni has been doing this work – identifying, preserving, studying and celebrating Black filmmaking – for over 40 years.

“It’s this network of knowledge that a curator can take to various places, that I think people are really appreciative of,” she says. In the following pages, the recipient of this year’s Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award uncovers some of those threads.

THE BREAK THROUGHS The actor, director and documentary filmmaker on their debut features, BAFTA Breakthrough and the importance of community tex t : cl aire marie healy

Vivian Oparah (Rye Lane, 2023), Georgia Oakley (Blue Jean, 2022) and Ella Glendining (Is There Anybody Out There?, 2023) are all participants in 2023’s BAFTA Breakthrough UK, supported by Netflix.

The initiative showcases and supports the next generation of creatives in film, games and television, helping leverage early success into sustainable careers.

eg : Exactly. I’m not sure I’ve

I got very fixated on being a BAFTA Breakthrough.

I’m not really sure why: I just decided, ‘this is a serious goal of mine’. I don’t know why I bothered applying before because I hadn’t actually made a feature film yet, but I was like, I’m just gonna say I’m in a wheelchair.

See what happens! (laughs)

ever even picked up a game controller. For me, I really, really value mentor figures, so the mentoring aspect is a big draw. I feel like that’s really invaluable.

georgia oakley :

Yeah, it wasn’t my first time applying either! vivian oparah :

For me, Breakthrough is so useful. I feel like these incredible moments happen in your career and your life, and you’re put on a platform, but you don’t really know how to harness that moment so it’s not just “a moment.” go : I also really liked that

it’s interdisciplinary. And that there are people doing things that I know absolutely nothing about. Like they’re smashing it in the games industry, for instance.

vo : I really crave mentors.

I didn’t go to drama school, and I never studied acting, so I don’t have a cohort of people or friends already.

Sometimes it can feel kind of superfluous, if I’m designated ‘One to Watch’ but I’m in my bedroom wondering what to do with my career (laughs). I want to feel like I’m learning. Being able to be mentored by people in the industry, and to be able to call everyone my contemporaries, just feels like a blessing. go : Having been on the

BAFTA BFI Flare scheme before, I knew that being part of a cohort is a wonderful thing. Maybe we won’t all be in the same room together at the same time, but even just being on the same list as other people, it means you share that in common.

It’s important because the film industry, particularly directing and writing, can be isolated and isolating. It can be quite daunting. Also, I think the industry, perhaps unintentionally, does pit people against each other.

So there’s only space for one woman, or one disabled filmmaker, or one queer filmmaker. It’s nice to actually meet people, connect and reassure each other that there’s space for everybody.

vo : I also feel like in general,

it’s dangerous slash scary to only have one primary interest that you always return to – if I did that, I think I would base so much of my self-worth in that one thing. go : With Blue Jean I don’t

think I started out with any intention to contribute something that I felt was missing, but then as the project developed, I started thinking about things that I felt were lacking in terms of representation. And one eg : A big insecurity of mine of those things that’s easy is being a tick box exercise forever.

HOW TO GET I N V O LV E D We are an industry of storytellers. Stories change lives – they influence how we think, how we behave and they inspire us. It is crucial that the stories that are being told, and the storytellers, truly reflect the society we live in.

To ensure this the screen industries must be open to talented people from all backgrounds.

We work year-round to identify and tackle barriers to opportunity, ensuring that the next generation of filmmakers, game designers, and screen arts creatives are supported to fulfil their creative potential.

BAFTA is an independent arts charity and we need to raise all our own income. To support our work we rely on income from individual donations, trusts, foundations, corporate partnerships and membership subscriptions.
