Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza’s visceral Navy SEAL drama Warfare today win three craft awards at todays The British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) craft categories.
Warfare wins for Best Editing for Fin Oates, Best Effects for Simon Stanley-Clamp and Ryan Conder, and Best Sound. Mitch Low, Howard Bargroff, Ben Barker and Richard Spooner, marking the second year in a row that Glenn Freemantle and Howard Bargroff have won this award, last year alongside Mary H Ellis for Civil War.
Lynne Ramsay’s Die My Love, is a feverish portrait of a woman driven to the edge. Two-time BIFA nominee Seamus McGarvey wins Best Cinematography, and Raife Burchell and Ian Neil scoop Best Music Supervision.
Harry Lighton’s debut feature Pillion following the ups and downs (and pleasures and pains) of a budding relationship between two very different men took two awards: Best Costume Design for 2021 BIFA winner Grace Snell, and Best Make-Up & Hair Design for Diandra Ferreira.
Tom Basden and Adem Ilhan win Best Original Musi with The Ballad of Wallis Island, in which Tom stars as a faded folk musician who reunites with his former partner for an eccentric fan.
Best Casting goes to Lauren Evans for I Swear, Kirk Jones’ touching feature chronicling the life of Tourette’s campaigner John Davison. Best Production Design goes to Nathan Parker for his work on Athina Rachel Tsangari’s folk horror Harvest adapted from Jim Crace’s 2013 novel. Nathan previously won this award in 2023 for Daniel Kaluyya’s debut The Kitchen.
The winners of all remaining categories will be announced at The British Independent Film Awards in London on Sunday 30th November.
