As part of BAFTA’s year-round programme of events and initiatives, many of this year’s nominees took part in ‘BAFTA Film: The Sessions’ on Saturday 17 February. The Sessions saw the nominees discuss their craft in interviews that will be available online on BAFTA Guru in the coming weeks.
In addition, a number of the nominated short films are now available to view in Curzon cinemas around the country and online at https://www.curzonhomecinema.com/.
