The 2020 British Independent Film Awards nominations were revealed Wednesday morning by British actors Holliday Grainger (“The Borgias”) and Micheal Ward (“Lovers Rock”). Leading the list of nominees this year is Rose Glass’ horror movie “Saint Maud” with an impressive 17 nominations. A24 has U.S. distribution rights, but canceled a spring 2020 release due to the pandemic. While the film managed to open in the UK, it has yet to grace stateside screens outside of film festivals.
Another horror movie, Remi Weekes’ refugee nightmare story “His House,” trails close behind with 16 nominations. That film is available to stream on Netflix. With 15 nominations is Sarah Gavron’s teen tale “Rocks.” “Calm with Horses,” titled in the U.S. as “The Shadow of Violence,” has 10 nominations, while “Mogul Mowgli” starring Riz Ahmed has seven. Florian Zeller’s Oscar hopeful “The Father,” with Anthony Hopkins, also is ahead of the pack with six nominations.

As the Cannes 2020 Special gets under way, we take a look at some of the shorts vying for the Short Film Palme d’Or. Despite the cancellation of the Cannes Film Festival as a physical event in May of this year, the world’s biggest film gathering is still making its presence felt thanks to the Cannes label and the Cannes 2020 Special, an event running from 27-29 October, which aims – in the festival’s own words – “to put an emphasis on short films and up-and-coming directors”. Over the three days, a six-person jury will be on hand to award the Short Film Palme d’Or to one of the 11 films taking part in this year’s Cannes Shorts competition, with eight of the titles on offer being European productions or co-productions. Director Sophie Littman creates a moody and atmospheric piece in Sudden Light, about two girls walking their dogs across.
