A new award for family-friendly features and expanded theatrical requirements for the best film gong are among the headline changes BAFTA announced today to its eligibility requirements. Scroll down for the changes in full.
The Children’s and Family Film Award will be open to films of any genre with what BAFTA has described as a “specific inter-generational appeal to children, young people and adults.” Films with a U, PG, or 12A certificate will be eligible.
This is the first new award to be added to the BAFTA Film Awards in five years. BAFTA’s Emma Baehr and Deirdre Hopkins, who spoke to us this morning ahead of the announcement, said similar family-focused awards will be added to BAFTA’s TV awards in the near future.
Elsewhere, BAFTA has significantly increased the minimum number of theatrical screenings required for its best film award.
