On the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, First Light tells the story of its youngest pilot.

Thrown into the crucible of the most violent air war ever seen, a boy, barely out of school, is determined to fight for survival... Seventy years later, that same boy is still yearning to be free.

At the age of nineteen, Geoffrey 'Boy' Wellum was the youngest Spitfire pilot in the Battle of Britain. This is the dramatic story of the teenager who went to war with the Nazis and with the fear that threatened to engulf him...
Combining Geoffrey Wellum's compelling first person testimony with intensely evocative action on the ground and in the air, 'First Light' is a powerful drama that documents the universal stark horror experienced by those involved in battle.

An evening with BAFTA-winning director Jessie Versluys and assistant producer Kate Collier on the making of Katie: My Beautiful Face.

Katie was young and beautiful. A model and budding TV presenter, the 24-year-old had a glowing future ahead of her. But in 2008 a vicious acid attack destroyed her face, and with it her career and her life as she knew it.

Join BAFTA and Creative Networks to hear how director Jessie and assistant producer Kate worked with Katie to bring her incredibly moving story to the screen. From commissioning and production through to the editing process, Jessie will elucidate the struggles both she and Katie faced in the making of this documentary and explain how they captured Katie's truly amazing spirit and humour as she began to rebuild her life with her new appearance. Breakthrough talent BAFTA winner Jessie will also offer indispensible advice to budding filmmakers on how to approach sensitive subjects for the screen.

The event will be interspersed with clips from the Channel Four Cutting Edge production Katie: My Beautiful Face, courtesy of Mentorn Media.

Jessie Versluys is a freelance Producer/ Director and has a background in both factual entertainment and documentary, directing on a range of programmes from The Apprentice and Secret Millionaire to the critically acclaimed The Hospital (A and E) which revealed the plight of the busy staff on a typical NHS emergency wing.

Jessie worked her way up the ladder until she got a break directing on a Channel 4 first-time directors' scheme run through Ricochet. After making her first 30 minute documentary about a vulnerable prolific young offender she went on to make her first 60 minute documentary, Into The Big Wide World - a touching and well received film about care leavers and the extraordinary difficulties they face. She is technically trained and has self-shot many of her programmes.

Hot on the heels of Big Talk's massively successful and critically acclaimed series Rev, comes Him & Her starring Russell Tovey and Sarah Solemani.

Steve and Becky are Him & Her. They are unemployed and lazy and all they want to do is drink, eat and have sex - so they do. They don't want to get a job - so they don't.

Him & Her reveals the hilarious and often shocking truth of what really goes on behind the bedroom doors of today's 20-somethings. And, to be honest, today's 30-somethings. And 40-somethings. And 50-somethings. And 60- and 70- and 80-somethings...

Be the first to see episodes 2 and 3, followed by a Q+A with Russell Tovey, Sarah Solemani, Richard Laxton (director) and Stefan Golaszewski (creator and writer).

UK | MOMENTUM | 111 MINS |CERT 15 | COMEDY

Dir: Stephen Frears
Scr: Moira Buffini
Cast: Gemma Arterton, Dominic Cooper, Tamsin Grieg, Roger Allam

A bright and amusing comedy about the fibles and loves of writers in the West Country, inspired by Posy Simmonds' comic strip (itself, loosely based on Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd.) Gemma Arterton plays Tamara Drewe, an ugly duckling who ruffles the feathers of a handful of suitors after retunring home a sexy swan. The depiction of the Dorset countryside is ravishing enough to please Hardy himself.

With thanks to Momentum Pictures.

Filmmakers Q&A

Some of the biggest names in screenwriting step into the spotlight, discussing their art and what inspires them in this unique series of talks.

Film Committee member, Jeremy Brock who programmed this series of events with the BAFTA team explains the background to the series:

'Name a famous film director. Now name a famous screenwriter. Not so easy. The truth is, no great film can exist without a great screenplay, yet screenwriters remain in the shadows - seen, all too often, as adjuncts to the director's vision, rather than authors in their own right. We wanted to correct this misconception by inviting some of the industry's top screenwriters to talk about their art and what inspires them.

In what we hope will become an annual event, these talks allow each speaker to dictate the content and structure of the event, for their 'voice' to emerge'.Jeremy Brock

David Hare has a reputation for elegant and highly intelligent screenplays which inspire extraordinary performances from actors. For The Reader and The Hours, he was nominated for BAFTA, Golden Globe and Oscar-awards. He won a BAFTA for his 1979 TV Play Licking Hitler

The series includes lectures from Christopher Hampton, Simon Beaufoy, Peter Morgan, Aline Brosh McKenna and Ronald Harwood.Click here for full programme.
