Riseborough (pictured) plays a mother forced to spy on her IRA family for a British operative played by Clive Owen in \u201cShadow Dancer\u201d, which Paramount Pictures will release on DVD on Jan. 14.<\/p>\n

Jones plays a sound designer who works for a company that makes horror films in \u201cBerberian Sound Studio\u201d, which Artificial Eye will release on DVD and Blu-ray on Dec. 31. The picture won four BIFAs including best director for Peter Strickland, best technical achievement for sound designers Joakim Sundstrom and Stevie Haywood, and best achievement in production.<\/p>\n

\u201cBroken\u201d, which StudioCanal will release, also won the best supporting actor prize for Rory Kinnear. Cillian Murphy and Tim Roth star in the drama about violence in a North London community.<\/p>\n

Olivia Colman won the best supporting actress prize as Queen Elizabeth opposite Samuel West as King George VI in \u201cHyde Park On Hudson\u201d, which Universal Pictures will release in UK cinemas on Feb. 1). Bill Murray stars as US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the film, which tells of the royal visit to boost US support for the British war effort in 1939.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Imposter\u201d, a documentary about a teenager who pretends to be the missing son of a Texas family, won two awards for best documentary and best debut director Bart Layton. Released theatrically by Picturehouse \/ Revolver in August, it will be on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on Jan. 7.<\/p>\n

Danish drama \u201cThe Hunt\u201d starring Mads Mikkelsen, which Arrow Films released in cinemas here on Nov. 30, won the award for best international independent film.<\/p>\n

BIFA Directors Johanna von Fischer and Tessa Collinson said the range of films honoured proved that 2012 had been a strong year for British independent film and said the awards \u201ccontinue to highlight the extraordinary talent that is so plentiful within British independent filmmaking today\u201d.<\/p>\n

The BIFAs, sponsored by Mo\u00ebt, were handed out at a ceremony hosted by actor James Nesbitt at Old Billingsgate in London on Dec. 8. Presenters included Idris Elba, John Hurt, Terry Gilliam, Jared Harris, Rufus Sewell, Alicia Vikander and Noomi Rapace.<\/p>\n
