Two Middlesex lecturers have been nominated for BAFTAs at the 2019 British Academy Film Awards on February 10th.
Both films are highly autobiographical in subject matter. Jonathan Hodgson, Senior Lecturer in Animation and BA Animation course leader, is in the running for the Best British Short Animation award with Roughhouse, based on an experience in a shared flat as a student in Liverpool.
Artist, photographer and filmmaker Richard Billingham, a Professor in Creative Industries who lectures on the BA and MA photography courses, is nominated in the category of Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer for feature Ray & Liz, which he wrote and directed, portraying his chaotic home life growing up in the Black Country.
