After six years at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the EE BAFTA Film Awards across the city have transformed into the Royal Festival Hall in Southbank Centre, which also hosts the BAFTA TV and gaming awards.
The venue is located in the heart of London on the River Thames, close to landmarks including Big Ben, Parliament House, the National Theatre, BFI and the London Eye. In recent years, the Royal Festival Hall has become the main venue for the red carpet festivals of the BFI London Film Festival. “This move will see the BAFTA program be its most ambitious and accessible evening to date, bolstered by updated production and format,” the organization said.
Submissions are now open for the 2023 Awards, scheduled for February 19, 2023. The ceremony will be broadcast on BBC One, BBC One HD and BBCiPlayer and will be broadcast globally.
Emma Baher, Executive Director of Awards and Content, said: “The Royal Albert Hall has been a wonderful home for us for the past six years. As we begin the next chapter in a very exciting year for film, we can’t wait to begin our new residency at the Royal Festival Hall with the most ambitious BAFTA celebration yet. “.
