At One Hundred Shoreditch in London on Thursday morning, celebrity hosts Susan Wokoma and Morfydd Clark revealed the British Independent Film Awards (BIFAs) nominations.

“Casting a spotlight on the incredible talent working in the British film industry, this year’s list once again includes exceptional debuts from the U.K.’s brightest new talent alongside previous BIFA nominees, such as Tilda Swinton, Paul Mescal, Jamie Bell and Amir El-Masr,” the organization said.

How to Have Sex, the debut feature by Molly Manning Walker, received thirteen nominations; Femme 11, the debut feature by Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping, and The End We Start From, the debut feature by Mahalia Belo, received nine.

Here's the complete list:
