Film London’s Best of Boroughs Film Awards (BoBs) took place Tuesday 17 July at the BFI Southbank where Darklight was shown alongside the other films funded under the Borough Film Fund.
A jury led by BAFTA-winning producer Stephen Wolley (Made in Dagenham), BFI Film Fund senior production executive Chris Collins, film critic Finn Halligan, producer Pippa Cross (Vanity Fair), and writer/director Hong Khaou (Microwave’s Lilting) chose Darklight to receive a special mention and described our film as “highly atmospheric”.
Not only that but the team waled away with a trophy presented by award-winning film-maker and BoBs patron, Gurinder Chadha (Bend it Like Beckham).
