Haley Bennett (Cyrano, Swallow, The Girl On The Train) is set to lead Night and Day, Justine Waddell’s adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s novel, to be directed by BAFTA nominee Tina Gharavi (I Am Nasrine, Cleopatra: African Queens). WestEnd Films has boarded the the German-Irish-u.K. co-production and is introducing the project to buyers in Cannes.
Set in an era when glass ceilings were made of concrete, Bennett will play Katharine Hilbery — one woman who insisted on reaching for the stars. Based on what has been called Woolf’s funniest novel, Night and Day is described as an “unromantic comedy” about a passionate astronomer who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage. Contemporary in tone, the story of Katharine’s bold challenge to the Edwardian patriarchy is set against the backdrop of the suffragette movement and advances in science and technology, at the turn of the 20th century.

It’s a very important night for British film. Celebrating, in a way the BAFTAs can’t, the vital new talents emerging in this country. The British Independent Film Awards is one of our favourite nights of the year, as much a routemap for the people to watch over the next year as it is a celebration of them.
The sheer variety of films nominated is evidence of the potent creative landscape of Britain. From the crowd pleasing and inspirational journey of Steve Coogan and Judi Dench in Philomena, through the haunted and surreal discovery of Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin, to the barren urban clash of Clio Barnard’s The Selfish Giant this country has an independent film industry to be proud of.

Judi Dench, Scarlett Johansson: 2013 British Independent Film Awards nominations (photo: Judi Dench in ‘Philomena’) Since the likes of Judi Dench, Scarlett Johansson, James McAvoy, and Tom Hardy are in the running for the 2013 British Independent Film Awards, expect at least a little overlapping between the determinedly indie-oriented BIFAs and other awards season nominees and/or winners elsewhere. (See also: “Judi Dench Sole Bifa Nominee Surely to Get BAFTA, Oscar Nominations.”) Judi Dench and Scarlett Johansson are competing in the Best Actress category; Dench for Stephen Frears’ Philomena, Johansson for Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin. Tom Hardy and James McAvoy are in the running for the Best Actor British Independent Film Award; Hardy for Steven Knight’s Locke, McAvoy for Jon S. Baird’s Filth. The top Bifa 2013 movie, however, is David Mackenzie’s Starred Up, with a total of eight nominations including Best British Independent Film, Best Director,...

While the Oscars and BAFTAs take up a fair share of the awards spotlight the British Independent Film Awards (or the BIFAs as they are lovingly referred to) are, to our mind, a far more exciting and precise barometer of the state of British film.
It matters not how many La-based golden statues are picked up by the British each February, it is the winners and nominees of the BIFAs which point, once again, to a thrilling year in British film with invention and stark, raving talent at the forefront.
Clio Barnard’s The Selfish Giant is rightly garlanded with nominations, as is David Mackenzie’s Lff-choice for many, Starred Up.

Prison drama starring Jack O'Connell leads the field with eight nods, with The Selfish Giant just behind with seven
• The Selfish Giant trailer

Starred Up, the prison drama starring Jack O'Connell and directed by David Mackenzie, has emerged somewhat unexpectedly at the head of the pack of the nominations for the British Independent film awards (BIFAs).
Starred Up, which received its world premiere at the Toronto film festival, but has yet to be released in the UK, received eight nominations, including best British independent film, best director for Mackenzie, and best actor for O'Connell.
Close behind with seven nominations came The Selfish Giant, the acclaimed Oscar Wilde adaptation directed by Clio Barnard, which included a most promising newcomer nod for its two young lead actors, Conner Chapman and Shaun Thomas.

In the end, the much-reported delays, reshoots and overspend have at least resulted in a watchable disaster epic, even if this brings little to the zombie apocalypse party save for a huge guest list.

Seven years after Superman Returns debuted disappointingly, the series reboot has opened faster than a speeding bullet
The winner
How long should a franchise lie fallow before it can be rebooted successfully? With its premier comic-book property, Warner Bros allowed an eight-year gap between Batman and Robin and Batman Begins, although it's worth remembering that grosses for the Christopher Nolan trilogy only reached spectacular levels with The Dark Knight, three years later; the sequel made £49.1m, as opposed to just £16.6m for Batman Begins. Sony did pretty well with The Amazing Spider-Man only five years after Spider-Man 3, whereas Universal didn't create much excitement with Louis Leterrier's The Incredible Hulk, five years after Ang Lee's less-than-fully achieved Hulk.
Seven years after Superman Returns underwhelmed audiences with a total of £16.4m in the UK and Ireland, the pricey Man of Steel always looked likely to improve on that total. With Nolan on board as producer,...

Titles include Indonesian doc The Act Of Killing, Georgian Sundance-winner The Machine Which Makes Everything Disappear and 12 O'Clock Boys, about Baltimore's dirt-bike gangs, and Quentin Cooper leads a debate on nuclear power, alongside films on energy issues.

British-Iranian film-maker Tina Gharavi's powerful feature collides the two cultures she knows best.

Man Of Steel (12A)
(Zack Snyder, 2013, Us/Can/UK) Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon. 143 mins
How to retell a story everyone has heard so many times before? By shuffling up Superman's origins myth, adopting a deadly earnest tone and chucking tons of money at it, apparently. The result is a Christ parable with a Transformers-sized appetite for destruction. Cavill is appropriately strapping but the tension between Earth and Krypton gets buried beneath the rubble.

Wealthy white women's third-world sex tourism is hardly a nuanced subject (or a new one: see Laurent Cantet's Heading South) but Seidl brings it up to date and out in the open in this excruciating study of mutual exploitation. Tiesel plays a lonely,...

The Bafta-nominated debut tells its story of Iranian emigrants to Britain with integrity and feeling
Tina Gharavi's I Am Nasrine is a movie that first emerged last year on a limited release. A Bafta nomination for outstanding debut got it wider attention, and a well-deserved tour of UK cinemas begins this week. It is obviously an intensely personal film, flawed in some ways, with some plot issues, but acted with integrity and openness, and made with courage and a sense of melancholy in exile. Gharavi's crew for the Iranian scenes have not been named in the credits, evidently for their own safety. Micsha Sadeghi plays Nasrine, a young woman in Tehran, a free spirit who encounters brutality and misogyny from the authorities. Her father sends her away, along with her brother, Ali (Shiraz Haq), to the UK, which means entrusting them to a dangerous illegal-immigrant trail. The siblings emerge from a container lorry,...

The ceremony is over here in London, bringing together some of the finest and most talented people in the film industry under the same roof for one night. The BAFTAs are this country’s highest honour in film, and they have handed out their awards for the 66th time to those whom they deem the most deserving in the past year in film.
And since Ben Affleck is one of my favourite filmmakers of all time, I have been in a brilliant mood tonight, because he’s won (and very much earned) Best Director for Argo, and taken home the Best Film prize alongside his co-producers George Clooney and Grant Heslov. If you haven’t yet seen Argo, I can’t recommend enough how much you should see it as soon as possible.

The 2013 BAFTA Awards were just handed out and while Lincoln led the way with ten nominations, it was Argo that came away the night's big winner taking home awards for Best Film, Director (Ben Affleck) and Film Editing. Affleck's film continues its march to the 2013 Oscars, though the question of who will win the Academy's Best Director award remains a question with Affleck sweeping the precursors, but not nominated at the Oscars. Other big wins for the night include Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln) winning Best Actor and Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables) winning Best Supporting Actress while Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained) edged out the competition for Best Supporting Actor and Emmanuelle Riva (Amour) topped both Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) and Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) for Best Actress. Amour also took home Best Film Not In English while Skyfall went home with the Best British Film award. The screenplay categories...

The Guardian film team predict who will win what at this year's ceremony
On Friday Xan Brooks assessed the field of this year's Bafta contenders and found it "a hazy huddle of frontrunners, all seemingly bobbing back and forth in front of the finish line".
Lincoln is first among equals with 10 nominations. Les Misérables, Life of Pi, Skyfall and Argo all crowd in behind.
The awards momentum has swung from Life of Pi to Lincoln to Argo over the past few weeks. In a competition this close there could be upsets. There should be tears. There must be winners.
So here's what we think will take home scary award masks this year. We've listed all the nominees. Our predicted winners are in bold.

Following her unexpected nomination for a Bafta, director Tina Gharavi discusses her debut film about a girl fleeing Iran only to face persecution of another sort in Britain
When Tina Gharavi's film I Am Nasrine was nominated for a Bafta for outstanding debut, the biggest surprise wasn't the feature's unexpected jury selection, but that it made it to release at all. The subversive work filmed between north-east England and Iran – where it was shot in secret and smuggled out of the country – touches on the restrictions to freedom under the Iranian regime, but its real interest lies in the UK's contemporary refugee experience.
The Iranian-born, UK-based director and lecturer at Newcastle University has been making documentaries for more than a decade that give voice to marginalised communities. Since her low-budget feature I Am Nasrine caught the eye of the jury she has been overwhelmed by a media whirlwind of interest.

A Bafta surprise from Berwick, a sing-off for the Oscars, and who's the best-dressed queen in the land?
The other Argo
Perhaps the biggest surprise of last week's nominations flood came in the Bafta list for outstanding British debut category. Alongside heralded films such as The Imposter was I Am Nasrine, which had not premiered at Sundance or Cannes, the Lff or even Edinburgh, but at the Berwick film and media arts festival.
I haven't spoken to anyone who'd even heard of the film prior to its nomination, though it did have a limited release in the north east, where its director, Tina Gharavi, resides and where it is partly set. So I tracked Gharavi down and spoke to her, just after she'd finished a call with the ever-voracious Weinstein Company, it turns out.
The film is about an Iranian woman who flees Tehran and finds herself smuggled to a rather bleak Tyneside.

With awards season truly underway, it is time to dust off the gowns and practice the speeches (not to mention the he-deserved-it-more look) and make out predictions for the BAFTAs.
Part 1 will cover the following categories:
- Best Documentary
- Best Animated Feature
- Best Film not in the English Language
- Best Adapted Screenplay
- Best Original Screenplay
- Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer
Best Documentary
The Imposter Marley McCullin Searching for Sugarman West of Memphis
After the cruel snub of Chasing Ice, the Academy has played it safe with their choices. It is good to see British films The Imposter and Marley in the running, not to mention hard-hitting documentary West of Memphis. My hopes are with Searching For Sugarman for being more than an almost-biographical documentary.
Best Animated Film
Brave Frankenweenie Paranorman
Hopes of a British nominee in the shape of Aardman’s Pirates!

The combined mystique of Daniel Day-Lewis and Abraham Lincoln is set to overwhelm more offbeat competition
Steven Spielberg's Lincoln predictably leads the way in this year's Bafta nomination list with 10 nods, with Les Misérables, Life of Pi, Skyfall and Argo crowding in behind. A surprise awards contender, perhaps, given its cool critical reception, is Joe Wright's version of Anna Karenina with six nominations.
Lincoln is an awards-season movie through and through – that brooding poster image of Daniel Day-Lewis's president in profile, lost in thought, dealing with the burdens of history and command, hammers home the sheer granite importance of what is being dramatised. Academy voters know that this is a film they can support in good faith. In its way, Ben Affleck's suspense thriller Argo, about the 1979 hostage crisis, is every bit as fiercely patriotic and it is now poised to become the wild card success of this year's awards season.

Australian effects house Fuel VFX has added a British Academy Film Awards nomination for its work on Ridley Scott.s Prometheus following its recent nod from the Visual Effects Society.
Fuel co-founder Paul Butterworth was nominated alongside non-Fuel nominees Richard Stammers, Charley Henley, and Trevor Wood. Fuel, one of the three lead visual effects vendors on the latest installment in the Aliens franchise, delivered more than 200 visual effects shots. The company, which is now part of Animal Logic after facing a near-catastrophic cash-crunch last year, created the .Orrery. (an interactive 3-dimensional map of the known universe), the holographic 'Engineer' characters, and the 'Holotable' on the Prometheus' bridge.
Its work also received two nominations in the peer-reviewed Visual Effects Society Awards. Fuel.s BAFTA and Ves nominations mean it is likely to also receive an Academy Award nomination, which will be announced January 10 (Us time).

The 2013 British Academy Film Award announced this morning its nominations which were dominated by acclaimed U.S. movies.
BAFTA honors historical biopic Lincoln with 10 nominations, though Steven Spielberg wasn’t nominated for best director.
Boy-meets-tiger saga Life of Pi and epic musical Les Misérables received nine nominations each, while James Bond adventure Skyfall had eight nods and Iran hostage thriller Argo seven. Tom Hooper also was dismissed on the direction front.
Other mulitple nominations include a period film based on the famous Tolstoy novel, Anna Karenina with six and the riveting, powerhouse thriller Zero Dark Thirty and western directed by Quentin Tarantino, Django Unchained have 5 nominations each.
The British awards have helped underdog films including Slumdog Millionaire, The King’s Speech and The Artist gain momentum for Oscars gold, so many Brits hoping to see nods for Skyfall.

At this point in awards season, it’s pretty hard to surprise us. The Oscar nods are going to be announced tomorrow morning, and we’re pretty sure the top of the list will look like this: Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, Les Miserables, Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, Django Unchained, Life of Pi … So anyway, we could be inclined to yawn when looking at the nominations for the British Academy Film Awards (a.k.a. the BAFTAs), as the L films — Lincokn, Les Miz and Life of Pi — are in the lead. That’s why we like looking at the details, like the Outstanding British Film category, which gives Skyfall, Anna Karenina and Seven Psychopaths a chance to shine. There’s also the Rising Star award, nominated by a panel but voted on by the public. This year Elizabeth Olsen, Suraj Sharma (Pi), Andrea Riseborough (W.E.), Juno Temple (Dark Knight Rises...

Lincoln led all films with 10 BAFTA nominations, but director Steven Spielberg was not among the five directors recognized by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. Daniel Day-Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field, cinematographer Janusz Kaminski, screenwriter Tony Kushner, and composer John Williams were among the Lincoln landslide, but the British Academy opted to reward Amour director Michael Hanake and Django Unchained auteur Quentin Tarantino, even though neither of those films were mentioned for Best Film.

The BAFTA film nominations are in. You can read the list of nominees in full here...
We are now well into awards list season. We've already had the list of Razzie nominees, and the actors and filmmakers up for an Oscar nod will be revealed tomorrow. In the meantime, here's the British Academy's list of nominees, which features a strong showing from Lincoln, Les Mis and even Skyfall - a surprising inclusion, given that Bond movies are usually overlooked at these sorts of things.
Make what you will of the list that follows, but we're more than a little disappointed to see The Pirates: In An Adventure With Scientists missed out of the animation category, and we're pretty sure Ben Wheatley's Sightseers deserved some sort of mention, too.
The BAFTA awards ceremony will take place on Sunday 10th February, after which there'll be face painting and a meat raffle.
