† NOTE: This is my second and broader list based on Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema (2019) by Mark Cousins. It's a complete list of all films by chapter that appear in Cousins' 14 hour documentary. It's ranked and notated to mirror the documentary's structure. My other (first) list is similar but more narrow selection of films and their TCM premier dates, based on the same Cousins' documentary which airs in TCM's 2020 Women Make Film Film Festival. https://trakt.tv/users/lezelmaz/lists/women-make-film-tcm-tuesdays-2020
†† NOTE: This list notes the first instance only of a film that may appear in multiple chapters.

Rotten Tomatoes - Best of year
A work in constant progress.
The 21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films list serves as a companion to the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? 1,000 Greatest Films of all time list which, - by its nature - tends to have very few films from the 21st century in it. The 21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films list attempts to highlight and honour this century's most critically revered films and act as a sort of 'resting bay' for many great films that are likely to be included in the 1,000 Greatest Films list sooner or later.

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".
