We are delighted to share that Chloé Zhao's film Hamnet has been honoured at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards, winning 'Best British Film'.
Following its international success earlier this season, the film’s BAFTA win is a powerful acknowledgement from the British film community of the artistry, sensitivity and storytelling at the heart of this remarkable production.
Adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s acclaimed novel and centred on the family of William Shakespeare, Hamnet has resonated deeply with audiences for its exploration of love, loss and resilience. The BAFTA recognition further cements its impact on the global stage.
For our OB community, this moment feels especially meaningful. British recognition for a story so rooted in our literary and cultural heritage makes this achievement all the more fitting, and we could not be more proud to see Chloé’s vision celebrated in this way.
Congratulations, Chloé, on this richly deserved honour!
