Our left-field tips for Bafta voters, plus Doha, Tallinn and Tokyo festival dispatches

from The Screen Podcast

On this week’s episode of The Screen Podcast, the team recommends some under-the-radar titles for awards voters to look out for; and go on a whistle-stop tour of the latest film festivals. First, Screen contributing editor Wendy Mitchell, editor Matt Mueller and deputy editor Louise Tutt are joined by awards and box office editor Charles Gant to recommend documentaries and non English-language titles that Bafta and Ampas voters might have missed. Next, they discuss the winners from the Bifa and the Gotham awards which saw Harry Lighton's Pillion and Akinola Davies Jr.'s My Father's Shadow pick up prizes on both sides of the pond. Then, Wendy checks in on the festivals in Doha, Tokyo and Tallinn with Screen reporters Ben Dalton, Mike Rosser and Ellie Calnan. The Screen Podcast is produced and hosted by Wendy Mitchell and edited by Ellie Calnan. New episodes every other Thursday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
