Peter Serafinowicz and Ambika Mod are among the actors starring in the newly launched films of the International Booker Prize 2025 shortlist.
The new films, revealed on the Booker Prize’s website on Tuesday afternoon (22nd April), showcase the six books shortlisted for this year’s award, worth £50,000.
The line-up includes Lucy Boynton (known for films such as Bohemian Rhapsody and Miss Potter), Jamie Demetriou (Stath Lets Flats, Fleabag and Barbie), Omari Douglas (It’s a Sin and Black Doves), Rosalind Eleazar (Slow Horses), Mod (One Day and This Is Going to Hurt) and Serafinowicz (Amandaland, The Gentlemen and Guardians of the Galaxy).
Featured on the award’s website and social channels, the films are directed by Roxy Rezvany, an award-winning writer-director and producer. They will also be shown at the International Booker Prize ceremony on 20th May at the Tate Modern, London.
The Booker Prize Foundation has created the series of six two-minute films featuring well-known actors for its two annual prizes since 2022. This is the first time that the Booker Prizes have partnered with Schedule Nine Productions to produce the films. Previously, the Booker Prizes partnered with Sharon Horgan’s production company Merman Television.
