BAFTA Film Committee Chair Anna Higgs said: “The publication of the EE BAFTA Film Awards longlist is a very special moment to recognise the wide range of exceptional crafts, performances and productions that make the magic of films a reality. To be Longlisted is a fantastic achievement amidst the phenomenal films released in the last year.
