British Independant Film Awards 09.
December 11th 2009 02:47
The 12th awards ceremony took place on Sunday 6 December at The Brewery, Chiswell Street, in London and was hosted by James Nesbitt.
Johanna von Fischer and Tessa Collinson, BIFA co-directors say: "No single film dominates the Awards this year, reminding us of the high quality and variety of talent on offer in the UK. And if we can be celebrating so much good work in a year that is said to be difficult, there is a lot to shout about."
