Adrian Wootton, chief executive of Film London and the British Film Commission, said:

“With our previous slate, the bar has been set extremely high. However, given the calibre of the teams behind the shortlisted projects I’m certain we’ll see some exciting results and look forward to showcasing some brave new filmmaking voices.

“We are also working to ensure a better cross section of London’s wonderfully diverse community is reflected in the slate.”
