As the 2025 film awards season continues, we turn our focus to a key event for those in the UK dedicated to the craft of production design and set decoration—the British Film Designers Guild (BFDG) Production Design Awards. This prestigious annual event honours the creative minds responsible for bringing cinematic and television worlds to life.

The 14th Annual BFDG Awards will take place at The Royal Lancaster Hotel, London, on Saturday 22nd February 2025, celebrating the outstanding work in production design for films released throughout 2024. We’ll see you there!

F&F’s Paula Benson enjoyed a wonderful chat with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice production designer Mark Scruton, which you can watch below.
