2009年度英国独立电影奖(British Independent Film Awards, BIFA)奖励对象是预算不超过1千万英镑的英国电影。这个奖不如BAFTA奖那么风光，但是更有特色，体现在其低预算和英国电影上。
今年获奖的几部影片，我看过的包括 Moon、Fish Tank、An Education、Bright Star 和瑞典影片 Let the Right One In (今年BIFA第一次设立外语片奖，不知道是否也要接受预算限制)，可以说都是精彩出色之作，Moon 可能在创意上更胜一筹。另外几部我没看过的 In the Loop、Looking for Eric、Nowhere Boy (列侬传记)、Bronson 等因为题材和参加电影节都有一定的宣传，真正无人知晓的独立电影大概要算 Bunny and the Bull 和 Down Terrace 等。
