Rocks, directed by Sarah Gavron and stars Bukky Bakray as a girl left to look after her brother when her mother abandons them, won five awards including best British independent film, best supporting actress for Kosar Ali, best supporting actor for D’Angelou Osei Kissiedu and best casting.
The much-praised London-set teen drama Rocks has emerged as the lead winner of the British independent film awards (Bifas), which were announced on Thursday in a virtual ceremony hosted by actor Tom Felton.
Hopkins won best actor, and the film won best screenplay and best editing.
Second to Rocks in number of awards was The Father, a study of dementia starring Anthony Hopkins.
