As well as celebrating the very best from the film industry, the Film Awards also see the culmination of “60 Seconds of Fame”, the Academy’s short film challenge in association with Orange. By inviting people to submit a 60 second short film based around the theme “unite” 60 Seconds encourages people to be creative and get involved in the film-making process.
It has been a fantastic experience organising the initiative this year with BAFTA and Orange. The standard of entries has been incredibly high and we received hundreds of mini-masterpieces in genres ranging from comedy to animation and even horror!
Voting has now finished across the country and the winning films from the 15 BBC nations and regions in the UK have been put forward to the final. On the day of the Film Awards the 15 films will be shown on the big screen in the Covent Garden Piazza and the overall winner - decided by a BAFTA Grand Jury - will be announced by Andy Serkis and Mark Kermode in front of a live audience.
On top of that, the winning filmmaker will truly experience 60 seconds of fame when their film is featured as part of the ceremony to be broadcast on BBC ONE at 9pm on Sunday 10 February.
You can view all the Regional Winners on the 60 Seconds of Fame Website .
