Promoting British Talent
The British Independent Film Awards, which last year won the Hollis
Sponsorship Award for Best Low Budget Sponsorship and The Raindance Film Festival, are working with Transmission Inc. Ltd to secure a three year title sponsorship deal.
Although separate projects, both events are intrinsically linked and form the cornerstone of new talent in independent British Film Making. Transmission Inc. Ltd is working with the in-house team to put together a package aimed at building a long-term relationship with a commercial partner whilst promoting British talent in filmmaking.
In its sixth year, the British Independent Film Awards continue to grow in size and stature, filling an important niche in the UK and Independent filmmaking calendar. Over-subscribed for the last five years, this is the UK's fastest growing film event.
This year will also see the introduction of the Best British Feature
Documentary. The organisers feel this is a welcome addition to the current categories, highlighting and publicising an important educational and prolific genre of British independent filmmaking.

The power of song to communicate, motivate, console, unite and, ultimately, beget change: that ideal, gloriously realized, lies at the heart of director Lee Hirsch's inspiring feature-film documentary Amandla! A Revolution In Four-Part Harmony.
Winner of the Audience Award and Freedom of Expression Award at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, Amandla! tells the story of black South African freedom music and reveals the central role it played in the long battle against apartheid. The first film to specifically consider the music that sustained and galvanized black South Africans for more than 40 years, Amandla!'s focus is on the struggle's spiritual dimension, as articulated and embodied in song. It is unlike any other film yet made on the subject of apartheid, and an electrically expressive portrait of South African life then and now.
