A new award for Best Children’s and Family Film has been announced by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (Bafta), as well as some key changes in other categories.
In particular, the award for Children and Family Film is the first new award established by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts since it announced the Casting Award in 2020.
The new award will “recognize the best films that appeal to multigenerational audiences” and “highlight the creative contributions of the children’s media sector,” the Academy said in a statement.
Meanwhile, entries for the Best British Film category will be graded using a new points system that includes criteria such as nationality of nominees, key department heads and cast, along with information on co-productions, location and more.
The films that have won the award in this category over the past three years – The Zone of Interest, The Banshees of Inisherin and Belfast – have all been shot outside Britain, but mainly by British production companies.
