About this Event
Mr. Burton tells the true story of the relationship between Port Talbot schoolmaster Philip Burton and a wild young schoolboy called Richard Jenkins, the son of a wayward drunk. Richard dreamed of becoming an actor, but his ambitions were in danger of being derailed by a combination of family trouble, the pressure of war, and his own lack of discipline. Mr. Burton recognized the raw talent in his pupil, becoming his tutor, strict taskmaster and eventually his adoptive father.
The film received four nominations at the 2025 BAFTA Cymru Awards, including nominations in the Best Actor category for Lawtey, and in the Sound, Editing, and Photography categories. Subsequently, the award for Best Photography and Lighting - fiction; was won by Stuart Biddlecombe for the film. It was nominated for Outstanding British Film at the 79th British Academy Film Awards.
