Congratulations BAFTA nominees… and thanks!

It’s that time of the year in the awards season, when rumours on what will score BAFTA nominations are silenced and speculation turns instead to what will win.

We are delighted that thirteen of the films, short films and documentaries that have been nominated for a BAFTA award have contributed to the Skills Investment Fund (SIF). The contribution made from their production budgets helps fund the development of the skills of the UK film industry.

The SIF is a voluntary fund, built from contributions from films shooting in the UK. The funds go directly into training initiatives, such as the Skillset Craft and Technical Skills Academy as well as initiatives like Mircowave and to provide money for training.

From blockbusters like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, to the compelling documentary Project Nim each of the 13 managed to contribute.

The full list of BAFTA nominees who supported the SIF are:

• Attack The Block;
• Coriolanus;
• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2;
• Hugo;
• Jane Eyre;
• My Week With Marilyn;
• Project Nim;
• Shame;
• Submarine;
• The Guard;
• The Iron Lady;
• Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy;
• Tyrannosaur; and
• We Need to Talk About Kevin.

A huge thank you to all the SIF payers, congratulations to those fortunate enough to be nominated for a BAFTA and good luck to all involved.
