The 18th Moët British Independent Film Awards have rolled around again this year to celebrate and showcase all that the independent film genre has to offer. 2015 has been a fantastic year for indie films, The Lobster alone has weighed in with a cracking five nominations. We spoke to actor Colin Farrel about his time on the set of the film and his motivations in taking the role.

This year has also been a great year for screen adaptations: Colm Tóibín’s novel adapted into the touching Brooklyn and JG Ballard’s classic High Rise being translated to film format in the movie of the same name; and a bold cinematic interpretation of the theatrical Macbeth; and the beautiful Sunset Song adapted from Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s novel. We chatted to actor Jim Sturgess, presenting the award for best screenplay, on the importance of independent cinema and his upcoming projects.
