BAFTA Award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer

(Redirected from Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer)

The BAFTA Award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer is presented annually at the British Academy Film Awards in London. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), is a British organisation that hosts annual awards shows for film, television, children's film and television, and interactive media. The Outstanding Debut award recognises the work of writers, directors and producers whose first films have been released in cinemas during the award's qualification window. It is presented in honour of screenwriter and producer Carl Foreman.[1]

  • From 1998 to 2000, this category was known as the Carl Foreman Award for Most Promising Newcomer in British Film (and was presented to a writer, director or producer).
  • From 2001 to 2008, this category was known as the Carl Foreman Award for Special Achievement by a British Director, Writer or Producer in their first Feature Film.
  • From 2009–present, this category has been known by its current name of Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer.

Jury Process

edit

Unlike many of the other BAFTA Awards, which are decided by a membership vote, the Outstanding Debut Award's nominees and winner are decided by a jury of industry experts who view and consider eligible films over the course of the year. The jury can choose to nominate any combination of debut writer, director or producer involved in a film.[1]

The jury has been chaired by Prof. Anthony Mellows (1999–2009), Simon Relph (2009–2012), Stephen Woolley (2012–2016),[2] Tanya Seghatchian (2017-2019),[3] Briony Hanson (2020-2022),[4] and Clare Stewart (2023 onwards).[5]

Like the chairs, jurors normally take part for several years. Several previous winners have served as jurors including Asif Kapadia, Mark Jenkin, and Babak Anvari, as well as nominees including Joe Cornish, Dexter Fletcher, Nira Park, Alice Birch, Rose Glass, Elhum Shakerifar and Clio Barnard . Other notable jury members have included Naomi Ackie, David Arnold, Peter Bradshaw, Moira Buffini, Iain Canning, Justin Edgar, Jane Goldman, Elizabeth Karlsen, Ray Panthaki, Peter Straughan, Matthew Warchus, James Watkins, Ruth Wilson, and Penny Woolcock[6]

History

edit

The first version of the award was established by the Foreman Williams Jones Foundation in 1991. Scholarships were awarded to promising British students to study filmmaking in the United States.

The present version of the award was initiated by the Foundation in 1997 and was conducted jointly by the Foundation and by BAFTA until 2009. It was established to encourage British filmmaking by recognising the most promising British newcomer in the selected disciplines of screenwriting, producing or directing (or in more than one of these disciplines). The first award of the present version was made in respect of 1998. In 2009, the name of the award was changed, and it is now solely administered by BAFTA. The award continues to be presented in honour of Carl Foreman.[citation needed]
