Remi Weekes’ chilling debut His House, which received 16 British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) nominations in total, won two awards in craft categories: Best Effects (for Pedro Sabrosa and Stefano Pepin) and Best Production Design for Jacqueline Abrahams who was previously nominated for the award in 2017 for Lady Macbeth.

Philippa Lowthorpe’s Misbehaviour, a colorful portrait of the Woman’s Liberation Movement, won awards for its Costume Design and Make Up & Hair, for Charlotte Walter and Jill Sweeney respectively.

Lucy Pardee was awarded Best Casting for Rocks, which was cast through a collaborative process that involved workshopping with young untrained actors to explore their characters.

Saint Maud, which topped the BIFA nominations with 17, won Best Cinematography for DP Ben Fordesman.

Yorgos Lamprinos was awarded Best Editing for his work on The Father, a devastating portrayal of dementia, led by Sir Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman.

Mogul Mowgli, the high energy screenwriting debut from Riz Ahmed, won Best Music for composer Paul Corley.

Best Sound went to Nick Ryan, Ben Baird and Sara De OIiveira Lima for their work on The Reason I Jump, an immersive exploration of nonspeaking autism.

BIFA introduced these nine award categories in 2017 to better recognize the wealth of exceptional talent working on British independent films.
