Brilliant Filmmaking, Brilliant Longlist from 1.4 Awards

Leading visual culture website 1.4 today announced the long list for the inaugural 1.4 Awards for Brilliant Filmmaking.  

Winners will be announced at a special awards supper and party in Shoreditch Studios on 17th September. 

1.4 curator Lyndy Stout says: “We’ve been completely blown away by the number of entries and the extraordinary directing talent – whether it’s from film students, new directors,   those on the cusp of greatness or already established directors.

"We will announce our shortlist and winners on Sept 17th.  The shortlist and winners will be shown in our showcase at the Awards event and go up on the 1.4 site later in that week. 

"1.4 will be also selecting a limited number of emerging directors in a special online One to Watch showcase and will track their work throughout the year. And of course we will be profiling many of the directors who have entered the show.”

1.4 received over 500 entries, making the cut has been a challenge and a joy.  So much talent.  So little time.

The full long list of directors is below.

The 1.4 Awards will establish a new benchmark for the sector  and the talent that makes it so vibrant . There are no categories, no judging panels, the films are simply assessed on their brilliance, the winning entries are made by who 1.4 considers to be the sharpest, smartest directors.  

Tickets for the awards are available here.
