Details: The film tells the story of the small village of Andriivka, located ten kilometres from Bakhmut. Chernov, together with Oleksandr Babenko and the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, moves along the frontline, filming Ukrainian defenders as they attempt to liberate Andriivka.
Alongside the Ukrainian film, the category also includes four other titles: Apocalypse in the Tropics by Petra Costa; Cover-Up by Laura Poitras and Mark Obenhaus; Mr Nobody Against Putin by Pavel Talankin and David Borenstein; The Perfect Neighbour by Geeta Gandbhir; and Riefenstahl by Andres Veiel.
In 2024, the same category was won by Mstyslav Chernov's film 20 Days in Mariupol.
The BAFTA awards ceremony is the penultimate major event of the awards season and is often described as the British equivalent of the Oscars.
In 2025, the winner was Conclave, a thriller by Edward Berger set in the Vatican. It received 12 nominations and won four awards, including Best Film. The award for Best British Short Film went to Rock, Paper, Scissors, starring actor Oleksandr Rudynskyi.
