This year there are six BOFA categories – Features, Documentaries, Call of the Wild, Our Stories, Disruptive and Eat,Drink,Live.
FEATURES BOFA is supported by S. Group. This young, dynamic company is a multi-disciplinary studio integrating Architecture, alongside Brand & Marketing services. Like BOFA, they believe that the power of creativity can create change and enrich the world we live in. Their support makes it possible to bring you some of the finest feature films made around the globe in the past 12 months, including the Cannes-winning The Square, featured in our last newsletter.
Three of these films are from the UK – God’s Own Country is a debut feature from English director Francis Lee. It’s a stunning love story that was named Best Film last year at the British Independent Film Awards. Edie is the story of an elderly woman finding herself through adventure after the death of a controlling husband and features a sublime performance by veteran English actor Sheila Hancock in the title role. Lean on Pete tells the story of a 15 year old boy who adopts a broken down race horse and Charlie Plummer won the award for Best Emerging Actor for the role at the Venice Film Festival.
