78th British Academy
Film Awards


The design of the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards celebrated creativity and excellence in cinema. The iconic BAFTA mask took center stage, framed by a sculptural installation of suspended threads—symbolizing the moment an artist steps into the light of recognition.




Flowing from above to the stage floor, these precisely angled threads evoked spotlights that illuminated cinematic achievement. Their suspended movement reflected the fluidity of storytelling, shifting as light passed through—just as cinema transforms light into motion.
At the heart of the design, the iconic BAFTA mask was reimagined as a layered 2D installation. As light refracted through its layers and the surrounding ‘spotlights,’ an ethereal glow enveloped the stage—a seamless fusion of material and illumination, capturing the magic of filmmaking.
