The British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) have announced their 2026 nominations, with two projects featuring color by Company 3 artists earning a combined five nominations.

Danny Boyle’s Ink received four nominations: Best Production Design, Best Sound, Best Editing, and Best Supporting Performance for Claire Foy. Starring Jack O’Connell and Guy Pearce, the film returns to 1970s Britain, charting Rupert Murdoch’s acquisition of The Sun and editor Larry Lamb’s efforts to transform the struggling newspaper into a tabloid powerhouse, thereby reshaping British journalism. Shot by cinematographer Alwin Küchler, the film was graded by Senior Colorist Jean-Clément Soret.

Also recognized this year is Camille Summers-Valli’s Untitled Woman, nominated for Best Short Film. Starring Julianne Nicholson and Charles Melton, the film follows a middle-aged woman who feels increasingly invisible to those around her and discovers an unexpected way to reclaim attention. Shot by cinematographer Krzysztof Trojnar, the film features color by Senior Colorist Simon Bourne.

Congratulations to all of this year’s nominees and the filmmakers, cast, and crews behind these projects. BIFA Craft Award winners will be announced on November 24, with the main awards ceremony taking place on December 6 at London’s Roundhouse. View the complete list of nominees on the BIFA website.
