TWO films shot in the Bradford district have made it to the longlist of the Bafta film awards.
A Bunch of Amateurs, about long-running film-making club the Bradford Movie Makers, is in the Documentary category.
The film - directed and produced by Kim Hopkins under her Labor of Love Films banner, alongside co-founder Margareta Szabo and The BFI Doc Society Fund, with Glusburn-born Oscar-winner Simon Beaufoy as executive producer - is an affectionate tribute to a group of people with a shared enthusiasm for making films.
The touching, funny film has won great praise from critics and has had five-star reviews.
Emily, which re-imagines how Emily Bronte came to write Wuthering Heights and was shot in and around Haworth, is in categories for both Outstanding British Film and Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer.
The moving period drama is the directorial debut of actress Frances O'Connor. The cast is headed by Emma Mackey, star of Netflix hit Sex Education, and Line of Duty star Adrian Dunbar as Emily's Irish father, Patrick Bronte.
All Bafta film voting members were invited to determine the longlists for the Bafta Film Awards 2023. The next stage of voting will see members determine the nominations for the shortlists.
The nominations will be announced later this month and the ceremony is due to take place in London on Sunday, February 19.
