NOTE: It seems RT has deprecated the list I have used historically. It hasn't updated in months. I found a similar list that is being updated. I will pull from that going forward. If they resume updates on the other list, I will switch back to that.

The British Independent Film Award for Best British Independent Film is an annual award given by the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) to recognize the best British independent film. The award was first presented in the 1998 ceremony with Ken Loach's romantic drama My Name Is Joe being the first recipient of the award. The current winner is All of Us Strangers.

The award goes to the writers, producers and directors that are fully credited for the film. According to the rules presented by BIFA, in order for a film to be considered "independent" and therefore be eligible for this award and the other categories, the financing of the film must come from an independent studio or does not exceed a budget of $22.5 million in case of a production from a major studio. Additionally, the origination of the film will also be taken into account when assessing the independence of studio-backed films, this referring to "whether it was initially conceived inside or outside of a studio system".

2021 Karlovy Vary Film Festival

Een top 25: de filmredactie van NRC stemde daar dit jaar voor het eerst over. 2022 was een lastig bioscoopjaar door na-ijl-effecten van de pandemie – in januari zaten we nog in lockdown - en de ‘streamingoorlog’ tussen Netflix, Amazon, Disney+ en HBO Max, die vooral oudere kijkers aan de bank kluisterde met goede en goedkope ‘content’.

Maar de door corona ingegeven noodzaak tot bescheiden ‘kamerspelen’ leverde ook pareltjes op als Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. En wat een rare, boeiende en ontroerende films waren op het witte doek te bewonderen. Gezinstherapie in het multiversum, met dildogevechten en al. Verliefde kannibalen. Klassenstrijd op een cruiseboot. Liefde tussen 13-jarigen, alsmede tussen een 15- en een 25-jarige. En iconen: Elvis en Marilyn Monroe, detective en femme fatale.

Met pandemie en de streamingoorlog als verre herinnering is de tijd rijp om het grote scherm te herontdekken. In 2023 maakt de bioscoop zijn definitieve comeback. Afgesproken?
