BAFTA's Short Film and Short Animation categories in the Orange British Academy Film Awards celebrate and reward innovative and experimental short fiction films and animation.
SHORT FILM:
| SHORT ANIMATION:
|
The Academy recognises that it is essential to reward and nurture the immense diversity and talent demonstrated by filmmakers producing short film and animation. Shorts offer both new and established talent alike the chance to create experimental and innovative films and, by rewarding excellence within these fields, BAFTA aims to raise the profile of these talented individuals and of shorts in general. The best film in each category receives a BAFTA Award, presented at the Orange British Academy Film Awards ceremony.
The Short Film category is open to entries from the UK only and provides an opportunity for British filmmakers to demonstrate their skills to the world. The Award encourages the essential growth and development of new talent within the British film industry. Films are only eligible if they have a substantial British contribution in the majority of the following areas: Production Company, Finance, Director, Producer, Writer, principal cast and crew. Entry to the Short Film category is free.
The Award for Short Film will be presented at the Orange British Academy Film Awards ceremony on Sunday 12 February, 2012. View the full list of Film Awards nominees .
