warm welcome to the EE British Academy Film Awards, which celebrate the very best films and the work of incredibly talented practitioners from the past year.

The Awards acknowledge filmmaking from all over the world. We recognise and reward the greatest names in film, wherever they hail from, while also shining a very bright spotlight on the outstanding British talent who have contributed to so many of the nominated films tonight. Alongside established practitioners, the Awards also identify the next generation of talent: through our public-voted EE Rising Star Award, the Outstanding Debut and our British Shorts categories. It is hugely gratifying to be able to celebrate the achievements of those who have graduated from BAFTA initiatives, including our Breakthrough Brits and scholarships schemes.

The highest honour of the evening is reserved for one of the greatest names in cinema, the truly remarkable Sir Sidney Poitier. His work on and off screen for more than 60 years has made him one of the most important figures of his generation.

The determination and integrity he has displayed throughout his career, coupled with an extraordinary talent for filmmaking, are an inspiration to anybody starting out in the industry, and an encouragement to the next generation to tell their own stories and pursue their dreams. We are thrilled to honour Sir Sidney with the Fellowship tonight.

This year’s Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award goes to Angels Costumes, an iconic institution in the world of film, which has just celebrated 175 years providing costumes for the stage and screen. Congratulations to Tim Angel and everyone at Angels Costumes.

Our sincere thanks to the Film Committee and its Chair and Deputy Chair, Dame Pippa Harris and Marc Samuelson; to Jane Lush, Deputy Chair of the Academy; to the incredible BAFTA staff; and to lead partner EE and to each and every one of our partners, who offer us such great support and truly believe in what we do.

Have a wonderful evening.

t gives me great pleasure to welcome you to this year’s celebration of the British film industry and the 19th year of EE’s partnership with BAFTA. Cinema is a fascinating reminder of where we have come from and a great predictor for where technology might take us in the future. Take last October’s Back to the Future day. In 1989, when the sequel to the original film was released, who would have thought that the self-drying jacket – just one of the futuristic gadgets Marty McFly encountered – would be with us less than 30 years later?

Then, of course, there’s the latest Star Wars blockbuster: The Force Awakens (which my young sons love). We have been writing and making films about robots and droids for decades.

But I don’t think any of us would have guessed that, in our lifetime, fully functioning robots would be on the cusp of becoming everyday household companions.

But here we are, having created technology advanced enough for us to power billions of intelligent machines with internet connectivity, and fundamentally change the way that we go about our lives at home, at work and at leisure. And just over the horizon there is the prospect of even faster speeds and further innovation, which is incredibly exciting.

At EE, the UK’s leading 4G network, we are committed to building a defect-free network experience. Imagine a world where you don’t have to worry about losing signal or dropping a call. A world where buffering as you watch television and films on the go is a thing of the past. It won’t happen overnight, but we have the assets, the ambition and the talent to make it a reality. Watch this space.

Talent is a very apt subject tonight, and nurturing it is vital to the success of any industry. That is why I am proud for EE to sponsor the EE Rising Star Award again this year. Seeing a young person gain a fantastic boost to their career is one of my favourite parts of the evening. Each year we are treated to some incredible performances and our jury faces a tough task to choose a winner.

Best of luck to all of the nominees and special thanks to this year’s judges, which included chair Marc Samuelson, Lucy Bevan, Olivia Colman, Charles Gant, Nina Gold, James King, Mike Newell, Jonathan Ross and Gabrielle Tana.

By the time you read this message, you will hopefully be sitting comfortably and waiting for the show to start. Let’s enjoy an evening of great British cinema.

WO R DS BY CH A R L ES GA N T Charles Gant is film editor at Heat and contributing editor to Screen International

t first sight, Adam McKay might not seem the most obvious candidate to direct The Big Short, adapted from Michael Lewis’s book about the 2008 financial crisis.

While that dense non-fiction bestseller garnered such prestigious accolades as an award bestowed by the Robert F Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, McKay is best known as the former head writer on Saturday Night Live, the co-creator of the reliably mirthful Funny Or Die sketches, and the

co-inventor of Will Ferrell’s ‘doofus’ comedy persona. As the filmmaker himself said: “I’m the guy who did Step Brothers.”

Viewed another way, the marriage of director and project makes perfect sense.

In a succession of comedy hit films variously directed, written and produced by McKay, Ferrell has repeatedly mined the comic potential of what he calls “unearned confidence”: the chasm between a character’s uninhibited appreciation of his own talents

You want these guys to succeed.

Despite McKay’s self-deprecating assessment of his own credentials, there does exist at least one clue to his suitability for this project.

His 2010 cop comedy The Other Guys – in which the chief villain, played by Steve Coogan, is a brazen Wall Street embezzler – offers, with its end credits, an extended set of animated graphics illuminating topics such as Ponzi schemes, executive pay inflation and Troubled Asset Relief Programme (TARP) bailouts.

and the audience’s own estimation of them.

Delusion, idiocy and petulant entitlement regularly go into the blender.

In tragicomedy The Big Short, delusion, idiocy and petulant entitlement are all present and correct, although not so much among the film’s unlikely have-a-go heroes. Instead, it’s the little-seen antagonists – the sharp-suited investment bankers who found no irony in Tom Wolfe’s oft-quoted idiom, “Masters of the Universe” – that fall victim to these fatal flaws.

Bamboozled by their own luxury lifestyles and multi-million dollar bonuses, America’s brightest and best have created mortgage-based products of such arcane complexity that they are confusing not just to everybody else but also to themselves.

With The Big Short, McKay has succeeded in two tricky, but vital, tasks. One is to make a popular, wildly entertaining film about a seemingly dismal topic, the worst financial crisis of modern times. The other is to create for the film’s audience a rooting interest in traders and fund managers who made a killing out of these events. These are the savvy few who bothered to look at what was inside the ‘triple A’-rated mortgage bonds, deduced they were swilling in toxic ‘ninja’ (no income, no job, no assets) loans, and then made big bets against the housing market.

hen first-time screenwriter Matt Charman began crafting a script based on the true-life tale of Brooklyn insurance lawyer James Donovan and the spy he was charged with defending, he couldn’t have known that many years before, another filmmaker had been enthralled by it too. A director who, as a teenager, heard a story from his father about a pilot who’d been shot down.

That director was Steven Spielberg.

Once Charman’s pages were in his hands, Spielberg enlisted the Coen brothers to tickle

the script and cast Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance in lead roles. The shoot lasted just 59 days and the result is a beautiful, well-crafted and exquisitely quiet thriller. Big-budget Le Carre this ain’t.

Set in the late 1950s and early 60s, Donovan is the lawyer tasked with defending Soviet spy Rudolf Abel (Rylance), though it’s simply in the appearance of due process. Indeed, the verdict arrives as expected, although Donovan successfully argues against the death penalty.

His work, however, is just beginning, as he’s

asked to negotiate the release of American U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell) who has been captured by Soviet forces. Abel, the pawn to be traded.

Here, Spielberg’s world is truly one in which words speak louder than action. Much of the ‘action’ happens in stifling courtrooms, in wood-panelled offices, in softly lit prison cells. While set in a time that the world sat in the suffocating grip of nuclear paranoia, the mounting hysteria – along with the dark shadows that gather shape alongside it – surfaces with an unsettling calm and stillness.

Donovan’s family, including Amy Ryan as wife Mary – are the human face of this; her curls becoming tighter and smile ever more frozen beneath the 1950s’ celluloid sheen.

Their son is discovered filling a bath with water to be used for drinking when the time comes – a scene Spielberg said was reminiscent of his own actions at the age of 13.

This is just a taste of what Spielberg does so wonderfully as of late: taking towering events and historical characters and making them human; only just out of our reach, the tips of our fingers grazing their sleeves. This humanity is wrought largest and with most power in the character of Abel. The foreign spy who, against the questionable conduct of the film’s motherland, becomes sympathetic and hell, even heroic. Yes, he’s undoubtedly an agent (as the extraordinary opening scene reveals), but he is also a painter; a softly-spoken artist who may have the physicality of a crumpled piece of paper, but stands resolutely firm by his ideals and mission, regardless of the consequences.

It’s a triumphant performance from Rylance, who is equally unwavering, vulnerable and haunted. He also has wonderful moments of lightness – memorably answering, “Would it help?” with the shadow of a glint in his eye when Donovan questions his lack of fretting (a Coen touch, surely).

Spielberg, as relevant as ever, has taken a footnote in textbooks and built a compelling, warm and, you feel, in some way, personal narrative that defies the tag thriller.

he moral of Carol is simple. If someone orders creamed spinach over poached eggs and a dry martini for lunch, they’re probably a keeper.

Like all the details in Todd Haynes’s film, everything about that meal is tinglingly specific: the flavour memories it conjures, the Manhattan of 1952 it evokes, even the manner in which it’s ordered. Carol Aird, an elegant housewife part-way through a painful divorce, barely glances at the menu before asking for it

– and her younger companion, a hesitant shop girl and budding photographer called Therese Belivet, is so dazzled that all she can do is ask for the same.

At work in the department store, Therese is surrounded by imitations of life: dolls packed away behind cellophane, toy trains whirring madly round a circular track. Then one day, Carol stops by, and Therese immediately recognises she’s the real thing. Against the shop’s polite mint-green and pink decor,

her lips, nails, hat and scarf are like splashes of cherryade. Therese notices each of them approvingly in turn – and we notice her noticing, privy to this under-the-counter transaction carried out thrillingly in public.

Cahiers du Cinema’s review of Douglas Sirk’s 1954 melodrama Magnificent Obsession praised the director’s ability to express through cinematography and set design the things his cast couldn’t – “the fugitive passing of a feeling” that would shrivel and die were it plainly spelled out.

Haynes, who’s been called Sirk’s successor, pulls off this trick so deftly in Carol that its characters’ true feelings are black market commodities, only displayed when privacy seems assured. Carol and Therese are in love, but they can’t be honest about it – at first not even with each other, let alone the world at large. So we glean their relationship from everything that goes unsaid: via the gestural detail of Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara’s interdependent performances, and the

clean-edged economy of Phyllis Nagy’s screenplay, pruned from Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novel The Price of Salt.

That essential reticence means that, despite its setting and subject, Carol can’t be a melodrama – which is where it parts ways from Sirk and also Far from Heaven (2002), Haynes’s previous period romance and a full-blooded Sirkian homage.

America of the 1950s was a country lost in war’s long shadow and mounting paranoia.

(It’s no coincidence that when Carol and Therese finally consummate their relationship in a motel room in Waterloo, Iowa, it’s a clandestine tape recording that brings this flash of bliss to a wrenching halt.)

As such, Haynes and his cinematographer, Edward Lachman, use doors, car windows, mirrors and walls to find frames within frames, placing the characters in boxes and behind glass, occluding their views with gauzes of rain and dust.

It is, unmistakably, the New York of Edward Hopper: melancholic, composed and heavy with untold stories. But it’s also the city chronicled by street photographers such as Saul Leiter, Ruth Orkin and Vivian Maier: teeming, dirty, and aquiver with potential. Therese’s growing flair for photography – a Nagy addition – hints, as does the way she gazes at her lover from their first meeting onwards, that more honest modes of looking might not be too far away. Carol reminds us how much we’ve changed, and how little.

THE REVENANT WO R DS BY K A R EN K R I Z A N OVI CH Karen Krizanovich is a journalist, writer and broadcaster for Monocle, Radio Times, The List and others. She is also honorary secretary of the Critics Circle – Film Section

ilm is the closest thing we have to real life. Its sound and vision can be vivid, visceral and immediate, but conjuring reality is not easy. The collaborative nature of filmmaking adds difficulty and even happy productions carry a secret history of travails.

In director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu’s sixth feature, The Revenant, travails are not secret.

They are badges of honour that enhance its remarkable tale.

Set in 1823, The Revenant is based on the true story of Hugh Glass, a 19th century fur trapper whose life was fictionalised in Michael Punke’s The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge. Left for dead after being mauled by a mother bear protecting her cubs, Glass literally crawls from his grave, travelling 200 miles to find those who wronged him.

the desperate edge of his acting powers. Urged

by Iñárritu to be broken and vulnerable, DiCaprio’s method reportedly went beyond health and safety: the starving Glass, wearing a soaked bearskin for warmth, eats a whole apparently live fish and famously tears into raw liver – a feat for any performer much less a vegetarian. Supporting DiCaprio are a superb team comprised of Tom Hardy, Will Poulter and Domhnall Gleeson, each giving careershaping performances.

According to reports, the entire crew endured -25°C temperatures amid mountain locations in Canada and Argentina. Both the magnificent cinematographer Emmanuel ‘Chivo’ Lubezki and Iñárritu agreed that shooting only in available light, often for just 90 minutes a day, was the best way to capture a tale of this magnitude, in lands apparently untouched by man.

If The Revenant was difficult by design, it couldn’t have been born at a better time.

This was the year audiences demanded reality and Iñárritu’s film, along with Mad Max: Fury Road and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, pointedly brought practical effects, real stunts and stunning locations back to the big screen.

As Iñárritu said himself, “if we ended up in green-screen with coffee and everybody having a good time, everybody will be happy, but most likely the film would be a piece of shit.” Suffering for one’s art isn’t new, but The Revenant’s scope is comparable to the beautiful jeopardy of Lawrence of Arabia (1962).

Much like Lubezki’s work in Children of Men (2006) and Birdman (2014), The Revenant’s long, sweeping shots – some of which plunge effortlessly underwater and over cliff edges – are powerful images that deliver a graphic sense of immediacy: the camera is the audience and vice versa. Only the sun flares, water droplets, blood and breath on the lens remind us we are not actually Glass himself, fighting for our life in a hostile wilderness. Lubezki’s camera veers close but delivers us from evil, as Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto’s detached score leads us into a dream or oblivion.

It would be easy to call The Revenant a kind of Dogma Hardcore. But with unpredictable yet immaculate choices, Iñárritu proves that in his hands the art of filmmaking has much further to go.

potlight is a film that’s very much the sum of its parts, with every aspect of this engrossing drama – from script and direction to performance and score – working in tandem to tell a distressing story with sensitivity and compassion.

The film charts The Boston Globe’s efforts to expose the corrupt actions of the Catholic Church, which for decades concealed and covered up the pedophile activities of scores of its priests in the city. The evidence was there, with the newspaper having written isolated

stories about abuse cases, but it took an outsider to finally join the dots. In 2001, Marty Baron moved from Miami to Boston to edit the paper, and on his first day he tasked Spotlight – the Globe’s four-person investigative team – with the job of figuring out the extent of the crime, and how high up the chain-of-command knowledge of it went. That investigation went right to the very top, uncovering abuse by more than 70 priests locally, and paving the way for national and global exposés, the reverberations of which are still being felt today.

in the business delivering performances that burst with passion and intensity. support, while Stanley Tucci very nearly steals the show as Mitchell Garabedian, the paranoid, eccentric and ultimately heroic lawyer who was working these cases years before the investigation began and continued to do so long after its conclusion.

It’s a superb ensemble; the actors’ combined efforts elevating the material and ensuring that Spotlight stirs both sadness and anger.

But it’s also a film that celebrates the efforts of these courageous men and women who, through their tenacity and determination to do the right thing, broke a story that truly made a difference.

Some of the best actors

Mike Rezendes was the Spotlight team’s pitbull, and Mark Ruffalo deservedly receives a Supporting Actor nomination for his work as the investigator who won’t take no for an answer. Meanwhile, Rachel McAdams brings great humanity to proceedings as Sacha Pfeiffer, the journalist whose job it was to interview both the victims and their abusers.

Spotlight is an important film that’s worthy of their brave efforts. Director Tom McCarthy directs proceedings in precise, understated fashion, never sensationalising the subject matter, but equally never shying away from uncomfortable truths. He also manages to turn the business of cold-calling and fact-checking into edge-of-seat cinema.

The tight, taut, BAFTA-nominated screenplay, which McCarthy co-wrote with Josh Singer, is a masterclass in economy, with not a single word going to waste. But the cast that delivers those lines is the film’s most potent weapon, with some of the best actors in the business delivering performances that burst with passion and intensity.

Liev Schreiber manages to be both shy and authoritative as editor Baron, whose clarity of vision sets events in motion, while Michael Keaton imbues Walter Robinson – playermanager of the Spotlight team – with humour and intelligence. Born and bred in Boston, ‘Robby’ found himself torn between his ties to the community and a desire to do what’s right, and that conflict is etched on Keaton’s face throughout.

Then, I was really happy with the brief, as it gave me a strong impetus to develop ideas. Almost immediately I started thinking about possible visual metaphors and then started furiously researching the films that might be nominated.”

Ultimately, Szabó created the stunning artwork for all five variant brochure covers, each one representing one of the films nominated in the Best Film category, namely The Big Short, Bridge of Spies, Carol, The Revenant and Spotlight. He also illustrated BAFTA’s Film Awards poster for 2016.

“We were drawn to the strength and sense of narrative in Levente’s artwork,” says Paul Willoughby, creative director at HAA. “There’s strong symbolism and a visual poetry in his work, which he creates through the way he juxtaposes symbols with the worlds within. There’s also a liveliness to his work, and the colour palette he uses is very graphic, bold and storydriven. It was a natural fit.”

lmost 60 years have elapsed since BAFTA first recognised the talents of Sidney Poitier, the worthy recipient of this year’s Fellowship. The recognition came in the form of a nomination, in the now defunct Best Foreign Actor category, for 1957’s A Man is Ten Feet Tall (aka Edge of the City), a drama about New York longshoremen that saw Poitier become mentor to a youthful John Cassavetes.

“I never worked on a film where I did not learn something wonderful.”

Further BAFTA nominations came for A Raisin in the Sun (1961), Lilies of the Field (1963) – the film for which Poitier won an Academy Award – A Patch of Blue (1965), and In the Heat of the Night, the 1967 murder mystery that, in detective ‘Mister’ Virgil Tibbs, gave him what is generally seen as his signature role. The success of Norman Jewison’s film, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner and To Sir, with Love (both 1967) – a fondly remembered classroom drama, reminiscent of his 1955 title Blackboard Jungle, that saw Poitier play teacher to the likes of Judy Geeson and Lulu – ensured the actor was installed as the year’s top box office draw, the first black star to be so. They also helped bolster his stature as a role model and icon – epithets he accepted with both his customary humility and sliver of reluctance.

Like many of Poitier’s pictures, though, it was imbued with the values the actor has endeavoured to instill in all his work: dignity, humanity and a steadfast refusal to accept that the way things are are the way they should remain.

BAFTA made good on that nomination the following year by giving Poitier the Foreign Actor award for The Defiant Ones, Stanley Kramer’s landmark drama about two escaped prisoners (the other being Tony Curtis) whose initially antagonistic relationship becomes a bond every bit as strong as the iron chain that shackles them together. “I have to acknowledge Stanley as probably the most important element in my career,” says Poitier, who would collaborate with the director again, nine years later, on the no less resonant Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967). “He was a remarkable, extraordinary and very principled man who was pivotal to moving me forward in my craft.”

“[Director] Stanley Kramer was pivotal to moving me forward in my craft.”

“I felt fortunate to play parts in movies that challenged prejudices, took on repressive regimes or involved interracial relationships, whose storylines dared to show a black man as powerful, articulate and important at a time when that wasn’t acceptable to many,” he says.

“But I don’t pretend to be an icon, because I only got that from the opportunities that

were given to me and the people who gave me those opportunities.”

It’s undeniable, though, that the films and roles that made Poitier’s name became rallying calls in a greater debate about civil rights and racial equality – something which BAFTA itself reflected by selecting three of those films (The Defiant Ones, In the Heat of the Night and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner) as the winner of its United Nations award, a prize given annually between 1949 and 1975 to works seen to positively embody the principles of the UN’s charter.

By the end of the 1960s, Poitier had sufficient commercial clout to join Barbra Streisand and Paul Newman in the creation of First Artists, a production outfit intended to

afford them and others a greater say over the films in which they starred. (“The industry is moving into a new era,” Poitier said at the time.

“You either lead it, or move with it, or follow it. We have opted for leadership.”)

“I feel and have always felt a remarkable connection to England.”

Poitier’s primary contribution was a triptych of spirited comedies – Uptown Saturday Night (1974), Let’s Do It Again (1975) and A Piece of the Action (1977). They also saw him move behind the camera, a transition he says he was more than prepared for after two decades in front of it.

“I was exposed to filmmakers who were extremely gifted and I came away from all those experiences knowing how they did

things in such a remarkable way,” he explains.

“I never worked on a film where I did not learn something wonderful from a very good director or a very good writer.”

Stir Crazy, a 1980 prison caper with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, made more than $100 million at the US box office, the first film to be directed by an African-American to ever pass that benchmark.

In the 35 years since, though, Poitier’s influence has been more keenly felt away from the soundstage. A dedicated activist and humanitarian, he served as Bahamian ambassador to Japan from 1997 to 2007, while also representing the Bahamas at UNESCO. He has written three bestselling memoirs: This Life (1980), The Measure of a Man (2000) and Life Beyond Measure: Letters to My Great-Granddaughter (2008). He has received an honorary Oscar, a BAFTA Britannia award, the Cecil B DeMille Award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He has also had the distinction of having an incident in

It’s all a far cry from Poitier’s humble beginnings as the son of impoverished tomato farmers: a man who, after emigrating to the US, slept in public restrooms and on rooftops before being finally accepted at Harlem’s American Negro Theater.

Yet Poitier, whose Bahamian ancestry enabled him to be knighted by the Queen in 1974, can see a clear path between his early days in what was then a British Crown Colony and the BAFTA Fellowship, an accolade he says he is “honoured in the extreme” to receive.

“I feel and have always felt a remarkable connection to England, not just in filmmaking but culturally too,” the BAFTA Fellow concludes. “What you have passed on to me I will remember – always.”

Angels Costumes Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema

WO R DS BY R I CH M AT T H E WS Imagery: Angels

“The film industry is a bit like the Bible – seven years of plenty followed by seven years of drought.” o says Tim Angel OBE , who has worked in the British film industry for more than 50 years and, as the seventh generation of Angel to run the family business, Angels Costumes, he is talking from experience. The former chairman of BAFTA and governor of the BFI runs the world’s preeminent film, television and theatre costumiers, which is celebrating its 175th year in the normally precarious business of show. This is an incredible feat of endurance all on its own, and it’s hard to think of any other single company that has contributed more to the British film industry.

That it is receiving the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award from BAFTA in its anniversary year means a lot to the Angel family.

area as Charles Dickens, who was a customer as it happens,” says Angel. “His son, Morris, took over the business, and because we were in the heart of ‘theatreland’ and actors used to supply their own clothes, someone said, ‘Can we borrow some costumes just for the evening?’

The word ‘borrow’ doesn’t exist in the Angel vocabulary; it’s called ‘hire’. That’s how it started.”

From that fateful exchange on, Angels continued to adapt to the changing needs of the growing costume industry,

“We’re over the moon,” Angel says. “It recognises what the company has done over probably the best part of more than 100 years.

But good costumes are like good lighting – you shouldn’t notice them. It should look natural.

It’s a like a painting, it’s about the whole. And there’s never enough time or money, so when it all comes together it’s genuinely special. As the people in the background, one of the tiny cogs in the wheel that makes all movies happen, being recognised in this way is fantastic.”

To fully understand the sheer scale of Angels’ role in the history of film, you simply have to stand in their storage facility, looking at eight miles of costumes on rail after rail after rail – like the warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, if you need a film comparison – stretching off into the distance. The history of film, television, theatre, music videos and advertising is right there, hanging on the racks.

“When my great great great grandfather came over in 1790 from Germany, he was a second-hand tailor in a slum area – the same

The company was formed in London by Morris Angel as Morris Angel & Son, providing costumes for the theatre.

1920s

In the late 1920s, Madame Tussauds was destroyed by fire. Angels re-dressed all the waxworks and provided uniforms and livery for the staff.

1940-45

1948

Angels’ work was first recognised by the Academy Awards for Laurence Oliver’s Hamlet. Costume designer Roger K Furse collected the Best Achievement in Costume Design.

Angels acquired costume house Bermans, moving its professional hiring service for film, television and the theatre to Camden. The original Shaftesbury Avenue premises became Angels Fancy Dress, now one of the UK’s foremost suppliers of fancy dress outfits.

TODAY

Angels Costumes remains a family enterprise with the seventh generation of the Angels family now running the company: namely Tim Angel (chairman) and his three children, Daniel (costume director), Emma (director of Angels Fancy Dress) and Jeremy (creative director).

From 1940 to 1945, Angels provided dress uniforms for the Free French Army and for Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA), the army entertainment troupe.

Angels moved its film and television stock to a 160,000-square foot purpose-built facility in Hendon. The building includes a suite of 15 designer offices and more than eight miles of costume rails.

Some of the earliest films dressed by Angels were The Maid of the Mountains (1913), The Lodger (1927) and several other Michael Balcon produced films.

Angels supplied costumes to all five of the films nominated in the Costume Design category at the EE British Academy Film Awards in 2015: The Grand Budapest Hotel; The Imitation Game; Into the Woods; Mr. Turner; The Theory of Everything; and Maleficent. The winner was The Grand Budapest Hotel.

you had to be aware that you couldn’t put someone in a green dress on a green sofa.

You had to work out what clashed. Without our passion to get these things right, the business wouldn’t have survived.”

“Good costumes are like good lighting – you shouldn’t notice them.”

Did Angel ever contemplate doing anything else and not going into the family business?

“The family business was movie stars, theatre stars, television stars… who wouldn’t want to

expanding from theatre to motion pictures then to television.

“Each generation has had a passion for what they do,” Angel states. “When I joined the company I was very lucky because the BBC was going over to colour television, and it was the advent of all those incredible historical dramas. A lot of the great film designers of today cut their teeth in the costume department at the BBC, which is where we started working with them. The survival of the family business has been all about passion and adapting to the times.

“While what we do hasn’t changed, the technology around us has – even recently we’ve had HD, now 3D, for instance. That has a huge effect on the clothes. Like going from black and white to colour movies – with black and white you only had to get the tones right, then suddenly colour came along and

have to make a profit to survive, there’s also this awareness of what has gone before, and protecting and honouring that legacy. You need vocational training. We get a lot out of the industries we serve, and it’s really important to put something back in. As such, in recent times we’ve worked hard to get our apprenticeship schemes going, along with internships and work experience. It’s very, very important to us.

“I always say to anyone who wants to be a film designer, ‘That’s great, but do you realise how many more people work on the wardrobe side?’ Dressers, assistants, supervisors: for every design job, there’s probably 30 or

T O

go into that?” he grins. “Growing up around that and seeing it up close was fantastic.

I used to get starstruck all the time, but now it has to be a really big Hollywood star to do that to me.”

A large part of Angels’ passion translates into ensuring that the skills of its trade continues to be passed on to each successive generation of costumier, even as the nature of the industry has moved from secure “jobs for life” to a more freelancer-based structure.

“Most of the people through our history didn’t have any training outside of the business, they cut their teeth at Angels,” he explains. “With a family business, while you

40 other jobs. What does my heart good is knowing that everyone who went through our apprenticeship is now working. And we’re now also working with CreativeMediaSkills, based out of Pinewood, running three-day courses for different aspects of the industry, which is a good way for people to get into the industry.”

“We get a lot out of the industries we serve, and it’s really important to put something back in.”

It’s this focus on the work, rather than the acclaim and the glamour, that underpins Angels work, which is reflected by Tim Angel’s response when asked what his own personal highlights have been over his 50 years making costumes.

“Films that have won Oscars or BAFTAs are great – especially when the Awards season comes around and we’ve got four or five films nominated,” he smiles. “But the films I’ve enjoyed working on the most are ones such as

The Shooting Party (1985), which was a lovely film to work on and had every great actor of the time in it [including James Mason and John Gielgud]. And Alan Parker’s Evita (1996), because every single costume in the opening funeral cortege scene came from our stock.

That gave me a real kick.”

Angel’s unbound enthusiasm for his craft, his company and its storied history stays with you long after meeting him, with his boyish glee for the sartorial side of cinema proving infectious.

“I suppose I am a bit of a kid – when I walk around Leicester Square and I see so many films that we worked on, that gives me a genuine thrill,” he laughs.

And with Tim’s children, Jeremy, Emma and Daniel, now running the company alongside him, there’s every chance that the tradition of passion and commitment will continue for another 175 years.

A detailed history of Angels’ 175 years is chronicled in Behind the Seams, a book by James Bellini and Sally Angel.

Films are the stuff of dreams.

They are fantasies, both in a practical sense and metaphorically, writ large on the big screen for all to see. They explore what has been, what is and what could be, through fiction and reality, all beautifully, lovingly

The elegance and creativity of these dreams are a reflection of the remarkable imaginations of the artists who weave them, and this year’s photographic essay gathers together some of the world’s best practitioners as they work their magic. Dream a little dream…
