BAFTA opens film awards up to streaming-only releases
The Golden Globes, Emmys and BAFTA TV awards have long accepted streaming-only releases for consideration, while rules for the top film accolades haven't changed. Both the Oscars and BAFTA film awards have traditionally only been open to titles that've seen a theatrical release, however small, but the British Academy has now decided to scrap that requirement. Given the rise in new ways for filmmakers to release their work to audiences, from 2017 the BAFTA film awards will accept movies released exclusively on video-on-demand platforms for consideration.
Flix Premiere is the online cinema for forgotten films
Major film studios have much of their production schedules mapped out years in advance. By default, cinemas have pretty full calendars themselves. With a finite number of screens, theaters can only take so many movies from other distributors. Competition for these slots is fierce, and when film festival season draws to a close, some flicks simply don't get picked up. Even big names and moving stories can't save them from limbo. Flix Premiere, however, wants to do just that, by being an online cinema for overlooked films.
