The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) celebrates national and international film productions
Since midway through World War 2, the BAFTAs have handed out hundreds of the recognisable theatrical masks awarding the talent witnessed on and off the big screen during previous years. This independent charity, currently presided by the Duke of Cambridge, holds it´s yearly ceremony at the Royal Opera House in Convent Garden, London. Preceding the Oscars, the BAFTAs are held in February and are seen as an indicator to what films are likely to be recognised in America.
As well as showing excellence in film production, this national award ceremony also recognises talent in the television and video-games sectors
Whilst personalities from the past have laid down the foundations of what has turned into an international moving picture festival, the future of film is firmly in the hands of young talent. To facilitate this, the BAFTAs have developed a strong online presence where film fans can find the latest information as well as tips on how to succeed in the industry.
