Good Afternoon Lovelies, 

Exciting BAFTA news right now, as the academy has announced that from the 27th January you will be able to watch the BAFTA nominated short films through VOD. Using Curzon Home Cinema, audiences around the world can get stick into films, before they are released in cinemas from the 10th February!

All of this year’s nominees were chosen by a jury, who will cast their votes on the overall winner along with the BAFTA membership team, by the 12th February when the award winner will be revealed. This is the first time that the films will be shown online and the first time that audiences will get to see all eight of the films before the ceremony.

And it is all thanks to Curzon lovelies, who will be honoured with the award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema at this year’s ceremony for their amazing work.

Speaking about the news, Amanda Berry OBE, Chief Executive of BAFTA, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Curzon to showcase the BAFTA-nominated shorts to an online audience for the very first time.  It is vital that the work of talented British filmmakers is given the widest possible audience.”

Whilst, Phil Mordecai, Director, Curzon Home Cinema said: "We're delighted to be the exclusive online home for this year's collection of BAFTA nominated shorts. Congratulations to all of the filmmakers whose superb work we are very proud to be bringing to homes nationwide via our virtual Curzon venue."
