BAFTA Longlists 7 Animated Features, ‘Flee’ Up in Non-English Race

The longlists for the 2022 EE British Academy Film Awards have been announced, revealing the animated features, British animated shorts and VFX spectacles vying for nomination slots in this year’s prestigious cinema ceremony.

Only one animated title managed to break the bonds of the toon categories this year, with Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s Flee scoring a spot on the Film Not in English Language list — another significant nod for the film, which made both the International and Documentary Oscar shortlists.

There’s also a bit of Oscar crossover in the shorts category, even though BAFTA limits the competition to U.K. creations: Affairs of the Art, directed by Joanna Quinn, and Robin Robin, directed by Dan Ojari & Mikey Please, have made both lists. The rest of the category is a showcase of the diverse new talents coming out of the National Film and Television School.

Animated Film

Seven films will progress to Round Two of voting, and four will be nominated. This category is voted for in all three Rounds by an opt-in Chapter. 14 films were submitted for consideration.

Special Visual Effects

15 films will progress to Round Two, and five will be nominated. Round One is a chapter vote, Round Two is a chapter vote (nominations) and in Round Three, the general voting membership will select the winner. 56 films were submitted for consideration. Entrants can submit a supporting Statement and a show-reel of the SVFX work (up to five minutes in duration); this will be published on BAFTA View for the general voting membership in Round Three.
