BFI Flare: London Lgbt Film Festival has announced the successful filmmakers who will take part in the inaugural BFI Flare Mentorship program in partnership with Creative Skillset. This pilot program offers support to five emerging Lgbt filmmakers who will be mentored by a senior figure from the film industry as they develop industry knowledge, professional connections, their passion for cinema and an overview of Lgbt features entering the marketplace with a tailored 9 month program of talks and screenings.
The winning filmmaker participants and their specially chosen mentors are:
Aleem Khan, writer/director, whose short film "Three Brothers" was BAFTA nominated in 2015 and who is currently working on new feature, "After Love." Mentor: Ben Roberts , Director, BFI Lottery Film Fund
Claire Kurylowski, whose web-based work, "In Real Life," garnered a place in Dazed Digital’s Visionaries series and had its cinema premiere at the Institute of Contemporary Arts as part of London Short Film Festival Mentor: Ester Martin Bergsmark, award-winning Swedish filmmaker ("Something Must Break," "She Male Snails")
Islay Bell-Webb, writer, an Nfts graduate who co-wrote "Slap" (directed by Nick Rowland), which was also BAFTA nominated earlier this year Mentor: Russell T. Davies OBE ("Doctor Who" and recently "Cucumber," "Banana" and "Tofu")
Rachelle Constant producer, who is currently a development editor at BBC Continuing Drama and recently produced short film "Two Dosas" which screened at BFI London Film FestivalMentors: Mike Goodridge, CEO of Protagonist Pictures, former editor Screen International; and BAFTA-nominated producer Gavin Humphries

Tricia Tuttle, BFI Deputy Head of Festivals, said, “ Watching BFI Flare (formerly Llgff) grow in the last decades, we can see just how much Lgbt cinema has matured and emerged from the shadows. This is rich, vibrant work representing the diversity of Lgbt experience across the globe. But we were also aware there is still a lot of work to be done to support British filmmakers who are Lgbt identified and who may want to tell these stories. We were genuinely impressed by the number of quality applications we received, and blown away by the talent and spirit of our five selected filmmakers. The future of British Lgbt cinema looks very bright indeed. ”

The 2015 Ee BAFTA Awards were handed out in London Sunday night and while the broadcast aired hours later in the United States, it didn't stop us from chronicling the twists and turns of a show often seen as a bellwether for the Academy Awards. It took home only three BAFTAs, but "Boyhood" was the biggest winner of the night as it won Best Film and Richard Linklater earned Director honors. "The Grand Budapest Hotel" took home five statues including Original Screenplay for Wes Anderson, Production Design, Costumes, Original Music and Make Up & Hair. "Whiplash" earned three BAFTAs including J.K. Simmons for Supporting Actor, Editing and a somewhat surprising win in Sound. Expected Oscar winners Julianne Moore took Leading Actress and Patricia Arquette took Supporting Actress. Eddie Redmayne earned a key win over rival Michael Keaton by claiming the Lead Actor BAFTA for "The Theory of Everything." The latter also won...

British live action and animated shorts will go on UK and international tour from March
BAFTA has today announced that audiences across the UK, and internationally, will be able to see a feature-length package of this year’s BAFTA-nominated British short films and animations at the cinema from March.
For a third year, BAFTA is partnering with distributor the Independent Cinema Office (Ico), which is handling all UK theatrical bookings, and with British Council, which will tour the films internationally through their network of offices in 110 countries.
Last year’s programme visited 30 venues across the UK, and 50 venues internationally in territories including Hong Kong, India, Kuwait, Colombia, Armenia, and Kazakhstan.
Selected screenings of the films – which are nominated in the British Short Film and British Short Animation categories – will be followed by a Q&A session with the filmmakers, who this year include several beneficiaries of BAFTA new talent initiatives, such as:

It’s almost time for the British Academy Film Awards, and earlier today (January 9) the illustrious list of nominees was unveiled. Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel” is out in front with 11 nods, while “Birdman” is close behind with an impressive 10 chances for glory.
Meanwhile, both Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) and Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game) have been nominated for Best Actor, though Redmayne insists there’s no competition between them. He explained, "One can try and create a rivalry but it will not happen! We both absolutely understand people wanting to pitch us against each other, but we are old, old friends and I think he is the most wonderful actor. He is sensational in 'The Imitation Game' and I love watching him.”

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has just finished announcing their nominations for best achievement in film for 2014, with Wes Anderson’s quirky comedy The Grand Budapest Hotel leading the pack with 11 nominations. Not far behind are Birdman and The Theory of Everything with ten nods apiece. All three films have earned nods in many of the same top categories, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, and in their respective Best Screenplay categories.
Some may find it surprising that the most lauded film of the year, Richard Linklater’s Boyhood, only made a showing with five nominations, but they were all in top categories (Film, Director, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, and Original Screenplay). However, it is a little shocking that no nod for editing was included (and that’s with six nominees already in the category due to a tie), as this is usually considered a...
