LONDON – U.S. documentary filmmaker Errol Morris will deliver BAFTA’s annual film lecture this November, the year the British Academy reinstates the best documentary nod in its annual film awards.

BAFTA’s annual film lecture is now in its 11th year and aims to provide a platform for directors to talk about their work.
