Stephen Graham To Receive Richard Harris Award At BIFAs
Boardwalk Empire and Boiling Point star Stephen Graham is to receive the Richard Harris Award at this year’s BIFAs. The award recognises an outstanding contribution by an actor to British film. Previous winners include Riz Ahmed, Judi Dench, Vanessa Redgrave, Daniel Day-Lewis, Helena Bonham Carter, John Hurt and Emma Thompson. Graham’s film and TV career has included hits such as This Is England, Snatch, Boardwalk Empire, Rocketman, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, The Virtues, and Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical. In 2020, multi-BAFTA nominee Graham co-founded Matriarch Productions with his wife and fellow actor Hannah Walters. Matriarch’s first project was Phillip Barantini’s 2021 BIFA-winning movie Boiling Point, which also spawned a TV series. Matriarch is currently working on A Thousand Blows with Disney+. He can currently be seen starring in Netflix’s Bodies and will next be seen with Daisy Ridley in Disney’s Young Woman and the Sea and with Saoirse Ronan in Steve McQueen’s London-set WWII drama Blitz.
Israeli Current Affairs Conflict Reports To Be Distributed Around The World
A package of seven in-depth current affairs reports about the Israel–Hamas conflict are being distributed by Keshet International. Titled Israel: This is War, the films come after requests from buyers for detailed reports about the October 7 massacre and the resulting conflict, which has lasted for the past six weeks. The 20-30 minute films are part of Uvda, Keshet 12’s in-depth current affairs program, which has been airing for 30 years. Titles of reports include Orthodox Ambulance and How Nir Am was Saved. “Produced by Uvda’s internationally recognized team of award-winning filmmakers, these reports offer a different perspective from foreign news coverage – one more focused on the individuals affected by these devastating attacks, and their personal stories of bravery, resilience, and trauma,” said Kelly Wright, MD of Distribution for Keshet International. The first pause in fighting for six weeks is currently underway in Gaza, with some Israeli hostages slowly being released.
