BIFA directors Amy Gustin and Deena Wallace said,

“We’re delighted to be returning to Roundhouse this year. The opportunity to work with our production partners and the brilliant team at the venue to do something different and really special in the space is incredibly exciting for us, and we hope for the industry we celebrate too.”

The directors added,

“It’s an especially fitting partnership as a key focus for both the Roundhouse and BIFA is nurturing, supporting and platforming young creatives and emerging talent in the UK. Our move to the Roundhouse is one of a number of positive steps we’re taking towards raising the public profile of BIFA, which we hope will help renew support for our mission to champion British independent film and talent through our annual awards and year-round initiatives, and safeguard BIFA for the future.”

MILES EADY

Miles Eady, Head of Events at the Roundhouse said,

“Film and broadcast projects are at the heart of the Roundhouse’s young creatives programme, helping young people find their voice, tell their own story, or take their first step in the industry. That’s why we’re so excited to host the British Independent Film Awards, celebrating the most innovative and creative independent filmmaking in the UK. All the while, the event will be supporting the next generation of filmmakers right here at the Roundhouse.”

The Awards celebrate, promote and support talent and creativity in British independent film, to help develop a rich, inclusive and sustainable culture in the UK.
