Winners' acceptance speech by Shpat Deda, Afolabi Kuti, Daniel Mulloy and Scott O'Donnell for Home in the British Short Film category
DANIEL MULLOY: Wow. This is incredible. This film was made by many people. Executive producer, Arta Dobroshi, Shpend Qamili, Shpat Deda are all former refugees from the genocide in Kosovo. My grandmother was a refugee from the Holocaust, and I think many people here came from migrant families and have somehow been related to the crisis of the refugees at the moment. From my perspective, and I think from all of our perspectives, being British, our heart is love; our soul is compassion; and I think that we need that to be reflected within our governments and we need that to be reflected in our government's policy in relation to how they deal with other countries across the Atlantic; their administrations and not put up with any racism, homophobia, Islamophobia or anything like that. So thank you for this. I really appreciate it. Thank you.
