Double Win at the BIFA UVFF Festival
4 May 2025
Disremember has taken home two major awards at the BIFA – Unrestricted View Film Festival: Best UK Feature and Best Actor for creator Matthew Simpson.
The awards mark a huge milestone for the film, which was entirely created by Simpson — making it the first well known full solo feature film of its kind.
The jury praised the film’s originality and emotional depth, and Simpson’s gripping performance earned special recognition for pushing the boundaries of what independent cinema can achieve.
These wins highlight Disremember not just as an indie experiment, but as a powerful piece of storytelling that resonates deeply with audiences and critics alike.
Disremember's Matthew Simpson hopes to "create a new wave of solo filmmaking" with his impressive achievement.
