0:00:02 > 0:00:06Ladies and gentlemen, the nominations are in,
0:00:06 > 0:00:07the votes are been cast
0:00:07 > 0:00:10and the most hotly awaited event
0:00:10 > 0:00:14of the film awards season is about to begin.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Forget the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs, the Oscars.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Now in their seventh year,
0:00:20 > 0:00:24and bigger, better and, frankly, more bolshy than ever,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26it's the Kermodes!
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Good evening. Good evening, everyone.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Welcome to the Kermode Awards.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Good to see so many of you here(!)
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Is this on?
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Here at the Kermode Awards, it's not about posh frocks, red carpets
0:00:44 > 0:00:46and grinning celebrities pretending to be happy
0:00:46 > 0:00:48when someone else wins their award.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Quite the opposite, in fact.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53The Kermodes were established as an antidote to the Oscars,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56proving that in any given year it's possible to come up with
0:00:56 > 0:00:58a better list of winners from films and film-makers
0:00:58 > 0:01:01who weren't even nominated for an Academy Award.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03The rules are simple.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05You can't win a Kermode for a category
0:01:05 > 0:01:08in which you've been nominated for an Oscar. That's it.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11We work on UK release dates and my decision is final.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Which means the awards are wantonly partisan,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15wholly unverifiable,
0:01:15 > 0:01:19but still way more reliable than the Oscars.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21And, as ever, this year the American Academy have overlooked
0:01:21 > 0:01:25a bumper crop of fabulous films for me to choose from.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28But before we start, let's look back at who's been awarded
0:01:28 > 0:01:29this coveted statuette
0:01:29 > 0:01:32of Richard Nixon's uglier brother over the years.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Sorry, I was just reliving moments from King Kong.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41My kids are going to love this.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Thank you so much.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46This really is the most important award of the year,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48no matter what other people tell you.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51And I'm not just saying that because I won it.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Although...well, maybe I am.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- APPLAUSE - Victory! Victory! Yes!
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Fantastic. Thank you so much, Mark.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Um...you are the man.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- I'm very proud of this.- Good. - Thank you very much.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I'm really genuinely moved by it.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Thank you very much, Mark Kermode.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12That is for real.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I'm so stoked by this, I can't tell you.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16This is the one.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19This is the one, as far as I'm concerned.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Thank you so much. It's a big honour.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23And it's much better than getting an Oscar.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Has it got chocolate inside?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I think I'll give it a kiss.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29There you go.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Ken?- Yeah? - I'm really glad you got it.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- You know how much I love you. - You do.- Mwah!
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Quite a roll call of talent there.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41But, without further ado, let's get on with this year's awards.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43And we'll start with Best Actor.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Have you ever killed anyone?- No.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Brad Pitt, as the craggy-faced hitman in Killing Them Softly,
0:02:49 > 0:02:53takes his place in the Kermode hopefuls in this category.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55They cry, they plead, they beg,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58they piss themselves, they call for their mothers.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59It gets embarrassing.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I like to kill them softly.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Along with Daniel Craig, brilliant as Bond in Skyfall.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12And the magnificent Denis Lavant,
0:03:12 > 0:03:16playing a fiery existential angel in Leos Carax's Holy Motors,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20one of the most breathtakingly bonkers films of the year.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27But, even with such stiff competition, my award goes to a man
0:03:27 > 0:03:31who has become one of the greatest screen presences of our time.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35He played the chillingly evil Le Chiffre in Casino Royale.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Give our guests five minutes to leave.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Or throw them overboard.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43And this year he played a teacher
0:03:43 > 0:03:45wrongly accused of child abuse in The Hunt.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54But he bags the award for Best Actor for his role as Friedrich Struensee
0:03:54 > 0:03:58in what, for me, was one of the very best films of 2012.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59A Royal Affair.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04He is, of course, the magnificent Mads Mikkelsen.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15An astonishing historical drama based on true events and set
0:04:15 > 0:04:19at the court of King Christian VII in 18th-century Denmark,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22A Royal Affair features Mikkelsen as the King's rebellious physician
0:04:22 > 0:04:26who falls dangerously in love with his wife Queen Caroline
0:04:26 > 0:04:29and discovers that all power corrupts.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Hi, everyone. I hope you are having a fantastic evening.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I'm sitting in Toronto, together with this quite handsome
0:04:58 > 0:05:00and quite intelligent-looking man.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Thank you for watching our film.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06It's Danish, so we are counting every ticket.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10I would like to share this with everyone who was involved in A Royal Affair.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Thanks a million, Mark. This is a great honour.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Takk. Tusen takk.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Next up, Best Actress.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Now, there've been several stunning contenders this year,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26including Elizabeth Olsen, who brilliantly portrayed
0:05:26 > 0:05:30a young woman falling under the spell of a Manson-like cult
0:05:30 > 0:05:32in Martha Marcy May Marlene.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Get over it.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- You haven't learned anything. - I have.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- I thought we had a connection. - We do.- Show me.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Although Olsen has yet to be recognised at the Oscars,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47the Academy were quick off the mark
0:05:47 > 0:05:49with nine-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52the youngest Best Actress nominee ever,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54for her fantastic performance as a headstrong girl
0:05:54 > 0:05:57in Beasts Of The Southern Wild.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I hope you die!
0:05:59 > 0:06:01And after you die, I'll go to your grave
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and eat birthday cake all by myself.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09At the Academy Awards, Wallis will go head-to-head
0:06:09 > 0:06:12with the oldest ever nominee, Emmanuelle Riva,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15fast becoming an Oscar favourite in Michael Haneke's Amour,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18a heart-wrenching film about love in old age.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29But the Kermode Award goes to a Swedish actress
0:06:29 > 0:06:32who was tipped as a rising star at this year's BAFTAs
0:06:32 > 0:06:36and is utterly mesmerising in her role as Queen Caroline of Denmark
0:06:36 > 0:06:37in A Royal Affair,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40winning its second award of the night.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44The Kermode Award for Best Actress goes to Alicia Vikander.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Vikander stars as the educated and enlightened Queen
0:07:04 > 0:07:07trapped in a loveless marriage to a mad king.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I met up with her on a brief visit to London
0:07:15 > 0:07:17to award her the Kermode in person.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Alicia, welcome to The Culture Show.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Your Kermode Award for Best Actress of 2012
0:07:26 > 0:07:28for your fantastic performance in A Royal Affair.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Congratulations. Treasure it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34I will. It's beautiful. It glitters!
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Well, it's my first big award for A Royal Affair, so I'm very proud.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43I'll find a nice spot for it back home.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44What research did you have to do?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48It's a historical role, you have to know the background. What did you do?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52My biggest treasure was when I found published letters
0:07:52 > 0:07:56that she wrote to her family back in England.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07After reading those letters, I saw this very young woman
0:08:07 > 0:08:09who had to grow up very fast.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11She's a survivor.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13She couldn't find love,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17she couldn't even express any of the thoughts that she had,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20so she had to put on the act and role
0:08:20 > 0:08:23of being the perfect Queen instead.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28And with doing that, she had to, I think, close everything inside.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Then suddenly, this man arrives,
0:08:44 > 0:08:50and opens up and shows her that he's equal
0:08:50 > 0:08:52in the thoughts and ideas that she has.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Did you go through a long auditioning process for the role?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Yeah, it was a long process.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I remember I got a call from a casting director in Sweden
0:09:02 > 0:09:04and she mentioned this film.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I got so excited, but then I called her and, like,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09"No, you've made a mistake because I don't speak Danish."
0:09:10 > 0:09:16And she said, "No, no, no, but it's fine, you can, you can try."
0:09:16 > 0:09:19So I called a friend's mom who's half-Danish, half-Swedish,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22who actually recorded the lines on her phone
0:09:22 > 0:09:26so I was able to learn them by listening on my iPhone.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- That's how you did it?- That's how I did my first reading, yes.- Wow!
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I think it was the same thing when I did Anna Karenina.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38That wasn't a new language, but it was a new accent for me.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Look at me!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I'm receiving for Papa and Maman, who are late to dress.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47It's my first reception.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Princess Ekaterina.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Listen, as I say, congratulations.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I think, you know, you're going to be huge.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Just remember, you know, when you're getting a bit...
0:09:56 > 0:09:58we were there very, very early on.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Congratulations. - You can see I've been hugging it.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Yeah, you have. Congratulations. - Thank you.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Every great film starts with a great script.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I've always been a huge admirer of screenwriter Paul Laverty,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17long-time collaborator of Ken Loach,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20who wrote The Wind That Shakes The Barley and Looking For Eric.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24This year, two of Laverty's screenplays really stood out for me.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27His latest Loach collaboration, The Angels' Share.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Up wi' the kilts.- What?!
0:10:29 > 0:10:32A whisky-galore-style Glaswegian comedy drama
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- with real heart and soul. - Up, I said.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Jesus Christ! What happened to you?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44And his extraordinary film-within-a-film script for Even The Rain,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47which follows a Spanish film crew into the heart of darkness,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50when they go to make a historical drama in Bolivia.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58But my Best Screenplay Award this year
0:10:58 > 0:11:01goes to Alice Lowe and Steve Oram,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03who, along with co-writer Amy Jump,
0:11:03 > 0:11:07conjured one of the darkest, nastiest comedies in years
0:11:07 > 0:11:10in which they star as latter-day Nuts in May,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13combining a caravanning trip with a killing spree.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Oh!- Wow!
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Thank you so much.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26This is...an amazing honour
0:11:26 > 0:11:29to win a Kermode Award.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32It's really great to be recognised for something
0:11:32 > 0:11:35that we've spent about 57 years of our lives...
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Yeah.- ..devoting ourselves to this project.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Being in a caravan together.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Yeah. Having sex, killing people, that sort of thing.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46And it's always good when people enjoy that.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Our idea for the film came from
0:11:49 > 0:11:51a sketch we did a long time ago
0:11:51 > 0:11:53in a live comedy show,
0:11:53 > 0:11:58which was two geeky Brummies going on holiday and killing people.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Which made us laugh.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02And then that became, over the course of time, a film.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04If you don't pick up this excrement immediately,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07then I'm going to have to inform the National Trust.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Report that to the National Trust, mate.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Thank you very much.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Handsome.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Handsome, slightly hunched.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Oh, God! - THEY LAUGH
0:12:23 > 0:12:26On now to Best Director.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Now, this category includes
0:12:27 > 0:12:30some typically grievous Academy Awards omissions this year,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32including, perhaps unsurprisingly,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35previous Kermode Award winner Andrew Dominik,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39who directed the gritty, noir gangster movie Killing Them Softly.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Argh! - HE LAUGHS
0:12:46 > 0:12:48More annoyingly, Christopher Nolan,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51who has still never been nominated Best Director at the Oscars,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53has been overlooked for the final part
0:12:53 > 0:12:56of his brilliant Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00My mother warned me about getting into cars with strange men.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02This isn't a car.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08The real egg on Oscar's face comes from the omission of Ben Affleck
0:13:08 > 0:13:09from their Best Director nominations
0:13:09 > 0:13:13despite the fact that he's won for Argo almost everywhere else.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15You really believe your story will make a difference
0:13:15 > 0:13:17when there's a gun to our heads?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I think my story's the only thing between you and a gun to your head.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25But the Oscar oversight which overshadows all others this year
0:13:25 > 0:13:27is the Academy's failure to recognise Skyfall
0:13:27 > 0:13:31for anything other than its music and its technical prowess.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34All of which sorely undervalues the narrative qualities of a film
0:13:34 > 0:13:38which not only reinvigorated a 50-year-old franchise,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42but also gave us arguably the very best Bond episode ever,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46blending character, action and good old storytelling.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Honestly, what does a Bond movie have to do
0:13:49 > 0:13:51to be taken seriously during awards season?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Well, the answer, at least here at the Kermodes,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56is it has to be helmed by Sam Mendes,
0:13:56 > 0:14:00the worthy winner of my award for Best Director.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Well, here we are.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Er...I'm very, very honoured indeed to be getting this award.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17Um...the Kermodes are increasingly important in our culture.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I'm genuinely thrilled because Mark went on record
0:14:20 > 0:14:23several times over the last few years
0:14:23 > 0:14:26as saying he's never enjoyed a Bond movie.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27And action!
0:14:27 > 0:14:31I make movies that are constantly asking for the support of the critical fraternity.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35And they're like, "We're not sure. It's a difficult movie, it's a grey area, et cetera."
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Finally, you say, "You know what, I don't care what you think.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41"I'm just going to make a commercial film that I love."
0:14:41 > 0:14:42And then you get given one of these.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I want to say thank you very much
0:14:44 > 0:14:46and thank you to the people who watch The Culture Show
0:14:46 > 0:14:48and to all the people who went to see this movie.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52We had high expectations for it, but it's exceeded all of those.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54And so, to all of you, thank you very much.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02FANFARE
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Next to the Kermode Award for Best Film Not in the English Language.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09And, don't worry, A Royal Affair isn't even eligible here
0:15:09 > 0:15:12because it did sneak into Oscar's Best Foreign Language Film category.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16But my other contenders will include The Hunt, Even The Rain,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Holy Motors and Once Upon A Time In Anatolia,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22an eerie, hypnotic gem of a film
0:15:22 > 0:15:25in which the hunt for a dead body in the Turkish desert
0:15:25 > 0:15:28becomes a treatise upon the fragility of human life.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45But the Kermode Award goes to a film from the other end of the genre spectrum.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Incongruously directed in Indonesia by Welshman Gareth Evans,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53The Raid is set in a high-rise Jakarta slum
0:15:53 > 0:15:55through which a SWAT team
0:15:55 > 0:15:58have to battle floor by floor to get to a criminal overlord.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01You know, like Judge Dredd but better.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04The film is a bone-crunching treat, beautifully choreographed,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08splendidly directed and head-crackingly violent.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19BLEEPING
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Sorry, I can't be in the UK to accept this myself,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26but it was very nice to see this arrive on my doorstep the other day.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30The Raid was pretty much a make or break film for me to be honest.
0:16:30 > 0:16:37In Indonesia it was an opportunity to try to exercise as many little genres
0:16:37 > 0:16:41as I could possibly fit into one film. And, thankfully, it seems to have paid off
0:16:41 > 0:16:44and people have responded to it very kindly.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46So I'm very, very proud and very, very happy.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49And this is the icing on the cake. So thank you very, very much.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56And now to the biggie. The Kermode Award for Best Film.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59An award that's become so significant the American Academy
0:16:59 > 0:17:04have actually increased their own Best Film list to up to ten movies,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06just to try and scupper us.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Well, guess what, it hasn't worked,
0:17:08 > 0:17:14because every year my own very favourite film is notable only by its absence from Oscar's list.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Last year it was We Need To Talk About Kevin.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20In the past, Pan's Labyrinth, The Assassination Of Jessie James,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Let The Right One In. All timeless gems.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26This year my favourite films have included Even The Rain
0:17:26 > 0:17:27and, of course, A Royal Affair,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30both of which would have been worthy award winners,
0:17:30 > 0:17:35but they've just been pipped at the post by a British film set in Italy,
0:17:35 > 0:17:39shot in London and staring a previous Kermode Award winner.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41To announce the Best Film Award in style
0:17:41 > 0:17:47and to open the golden envelope, please welcome to the stage the chairman of the Kermode Awards.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48APPLAUSE
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Mark, would you do the honours.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51But of course.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55The Kermode Award for Best Film 2013 goes to...
0:17:55 > 0:17:57DRUM ROLL
0:17:57 > 0:18:00..Berberian Sound Studio.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:11 > 0:18:14So Peter Strickland, Toby Jones, for the best film of 2012
0:18:14 > 0:18:18the Kermode Award for Best Film for Berberian Sound Studio. Congratulations.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Thank you very much, Mark. - Thank you.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- Peter, take it quick. - Toby has one already.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- I have. You have that one. - It's really quite something.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Thank you very much.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32What's he doing to her?
0:18:37 > 0:18:42Berberian Sound Studio tells the story of Gilderoy, a mousey sound engineer from Dorking,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45who's hired to work on a violent Italian shocker.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50I didn't quite know I'd be working on this sort of film.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54What did you expect?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56It is a visual film about sound.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01All the sounds you normally ignore in real life or in a film,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04the radiator, the industrial sounds around you.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Even now the air-conditioning has this beautiful choral element to it.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13And I just wanted to make a film that explicitly puts that on the table
0:19:13 > 0:19:15and lays out the mechanics of it,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19but somehow shows you the mystery of it at the same time.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21VIBRATION HUMS
0:19:24 > 0:19:31I guess I was just fascinated by this divide between this very repellent violence on the screen,
0:19:31 > 0:19:37but then this kind of ridiculous pantomime element of grown men smashing vegetables.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42And you're kind of watching it and you think, "Should I laugh? Should I be disturbed?"
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I like the confusion that it creates.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46WOMAN SCREAMS
0:19:46 > 0:19:50SCREAMING CONTINUES
0:19:50 > 0:19:56Gilderoy during the course of making the sound effects is drawn into the world of the film.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Describe for me what happens to him when he's first confronted with the film that he's working on.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04His first glimpse of the footage,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08he's both aghast and entirely perplexed by what he sees.
0:20:08 > 0:20:14We never see it but we imagine it, because of the sort of lurid sounds
0:20:14 > 0:20:17that are being made at the time by the Foley artist.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22And the division between what he's working on and what is working on him
0:20:22 > 0:20:24sort of becomes blurred.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27It is just a film.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30You are part of it!
0:20:30 > 0:20:32You can see how all this is put together.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35What's... what's your problem with this?!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Maybe it's best I go home.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Now it's time for the Kermode Award for Best Documentary.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53And, despite the fact that there's a huge amount of great documentaries out there,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57factual film making still has a traditionally hard time at the box office,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00which makes this award particularly close to my heart.
0:21:00 > 0:21:08One of the most poetic documentaries I saw last year was Patricio Guzman's Nostalgia For The Light.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12It's set in Chile's Atacama Desert, where astronomers come to gaze at the stars
0:21:12 > 0:21:18and victims of the Pinochet regime still search for the buried remains of their loved ones.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22It's a must-see film that ranks alongside the documentaries of Werner Herzog
0:21:22 > 0:21:26in offering a profound insight into the human condition.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Also in the running, The Last Projectionist,
0:21:40 > 0:21:43a beautiful, timely and ever so slightly heartbreaking account
0:21:43 > 0:21:47of the changing face of cinema in the UK.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Comfort, courtesy and good cheer
0:21:48 > 0:21:51are available inside for the leisure hour,
0:21:51 > 0:21:55but the artistic neon lighting at night-time
0:21:55 > 0:21:58adds another bright spot to the thoroughfares of Birmingham.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02But the statuette for Best Documentary
0:22:02 > 0:22:08goes to a David and Goliath tale of ordinary people standing up against big business.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12It's my home. I've stayed here for 43 years now
0:22:12 > 0:22:14and he wants to murder it.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18It has a real-life villain in the shape of an appalling American billionaire
0:22:18 > 0:22:23riding roughshod over people and environment alike as he attempts to build a luxury golf resort
0:22:23 > 0:22:29in an area of staggering scientific and natural interest in the dune landscapes of Aberdeenshire.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33I don't think you want the windows looking down into a slum.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37The corruption and collusion between money, politics and the police
0:22:37 > 0:22:41that filmmaker Anthony Baxter uncovered are shocking indeed
0:22:41 > 0:22:43and will make you very angry.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Although not as angry as they made Donald Trump.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51For which reason the Kermode Award for Best Documentary
0:22:51 > 0:22:54goes to the brilliantly enraging You've Been Trumped.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Wow! This is a fantastic honour.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Thank you very much indeed, Mark.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Also to the great Bill Forsyth, the director of Local Hero,
0:23:10 > 0:23:14who endorsed You've Been Trumped at a crucial moment.
0:23:14 > 0:23:20The real life local heroes that You've Been Trumped follows, the local people,
0:23:20 > 0:23:26have shown extraordinary dignity, courage and commitment to their local environment and the planet.
0:23:26 > 0:23:32So I'd like to dedicate this award, Mark, to them. Thanks very much.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38And, finally, to the very last award of the evening.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41It is, of course, the Kermode Fellowship Award.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43The highest accolade a film-maker can achieve,
0:23:43 > 0:23:48the Fellowship recognises an outstanding contribution to the art of cinema.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53This year the recipient is a film-maker whose work continues to thrill and inspire me.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56His first feature film, That Sinking Feeling,
0:23:56 > 0:24:01made it into the Guinness Book of Records as the cheapest theatrically released feature ever.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05This year marks the 30th anniversary of one of his most famous films
0:24:05 > 0:24:10and a personal favourite, Local Hero, an inspiration as we've just seen for You've Been Trumped.
0:24:10 > 0:24:17The Kermode Fellowship Award goes to a real film-making hero, Bill Forsyth.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Bill is a pioneer of British cinema
0:24:26 > 0:24:31who first made his mark with a number of bittersweet comedies in the 1980s.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Bill Forsyth, for outstanding contributions to the art of cinema,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- welcome to the Kermode Fellowship Award.- Oh, my goodness!
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- That's why you brought me to this pub.- It is.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47That's fantastic. I don't know what to say. I'm very, very touched.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Raised in post-war Glasgow, he left school at 17
0:24:50 > 0:24:55to take a job with a film company where he made short documentaries,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59but his ambition was to make features.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04We used to joke about the fact that the only way we'd get a feature film
0:25:04 > 0:25:07was if some Hollywood producer saw our film about fishing boats
0:25:07 > 0:25:11and decided we were the guy for his next Doris Day movie!
0:25:11 > 0:25:15So it was pretty remote. So then it was do-it-yourself time.
0:25:15 > 0:25:22Well, not a bad night's work, eh, fella? 93 stainless-steel sinks.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- And our very own snoring zombie. - MAN SNORES
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Bill's debut film was the wonderful That Sinking Feeling.
0:25:30 > 0:25:36It starred actors from a local youth theatre in a comedy about a gang of unemployed Glaswegian teenagers.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Oh, aye. And what do you propose?
0:25:38 > 0:25:42We wheel 'em up to the front door and ask for a cashier?
0:25:42 > 0:25:43I wrote that very quickly
0:25:43 > 0:25:47and we shot it in three weeks with, you know, virtually no money.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51And it did work. It worked in many ways for me. It got some exposure.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Suddenly, I had people who were prepared to read the script for Gregory's Girl.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58And that happened the next year with a proper budget.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03- OK, into twos now.- Gregory's Girl became Bill's breakthrough film.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06A story of adolescence and first love in a Scottish new town,
0:26:06 > 0:26:10it was an instant hit with both the public and with critics.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13What's going on?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16She's gorgeous.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20She is absolutely gorgeous!
0:26:20 > 0:26:24After the success of Sinking Feeling and Gregory's Girl,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27there's this partial move across the Atlantic with Local Hero,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30which is a classic case of a home-grown movie
0:26:30 > 0:26:35but it has aspirations towards an American audience.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38It is, as you know, one of my favourite films of all time.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41What do you think is the key
0:26:41 > 0:26:46to why Local Hero has worked so well for such a large audience?
0:26:46 > 0:26:51When I start a movie, I always put a message to myself in the front of the script.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54A little prologue. And in that case, it was from that poem,
0:26:54 > 0:26:58"What is this life if full of care We have no time to stand and stare?"
0:26:58 > 0:27:02So, I suppose, that was my little message going into it.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07So I don't know if that is part of the response that you created to it.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Would you give me a pound note for every grain of sand I hold in my hand?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Now you can have the beach for that.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18There, I've saved you a pound or two, eh?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Come on, Ben, I don't want to play games.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- Let's negotiate in a businesslike way.- Oh, dear, oh, dear!
0:27:24 > 0:27:30You could have had a very nice purchase there, Mr McIntyre.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I find I'm very unsuited to being a film-maker,
0:27:33 > 0:27:39because I think film-makers should be people who are slightly extravagant.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41You know, and slightly out there.
0:27:41 > 0:27:47Throughout my whole film-making time, I think I've been, like, whispering in a crowd.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51And it's not the perfect way to get something across to people,
0:27:51 > 0:27:55whispering in a crowd, but it's what I think that I've done.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57That's what it's amounted to.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Well, I am really glad that you found the reasons to make the films you make,
0:28:00 > 0:28:04because without them my life would be infinitely less rich.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- Thank you very much.- Thank you for all your encouragement.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12And if...if I do make another film, it will be for you.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Really. God bless you.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24And that brings us to the end of tonight's Kermode awards.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28There you have it, the very best of what cinema had to offer last year
0:28:28 > 0:28:30as judged by me.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33So until Oscar drops the ball again next year,
0:28:33 > 0:28:35thank you and goodnight.
