JUNE GIVANNI: Award winning
THE BRITISH Independent Film Awards (BIFA) has today announced that film curator June Givanni will be awarded the 2020 Special Jury Prize.
As a custodian, I would like to see the archive reach its full potential. It’s a major responsibility but one that I have been privileged to accept

Each year, the BIFA jury identify an industry figure that they believe is deserving of the coveted Special Jury Prize and, in the spirit of BIFA’s celebration of the under-acknowledged, the award honours the unsung heroes of the film industry – those who have left an indelible mark on the landscape of British film but have not necessarily received the recognition they deserve.
