Winner of best film
Interview with MICHEL HAZANAVICIUS and THOMAS LANGMANN
Q.	We are now joined by Michel Hazanavicius -- almost.
MICHEL HAZANAVICIUS:  Almost. 
Q.	And Thomas Langmann; the producer and the director, of course, of the film which has won almost every award at the British Academy Film Awards here tonight.
Did you for one moment, gentlemen, think that you were going to be so incredibly successful at these very British awards which have honoured your film with, I think, seven BAFTAs?
THOMAS LANGMANN:  Yes!  Well, it's the truth.
MICHEL HAZANAVICIUS:  I have to say, he said to me, "We are going to win seven awards".  And I said, "You are crazy, it will never happen".
THOMAS LANGMANN:  No, I love to be here at the BAFTAs, because I came as a child.  I came with my father, who won for Jean de Florette in 1986 as -- he was the director and producer and writer.  So I was -- I am glad, I have the same object as my father.  Thank you.
Q.	That is wonderful.  This young lady here is going to ask a question in English, I believe.
Q.	I am going to ask you a question in English, but it is coming from Germany.  A lady called Elnez(?) has asked: should we expect to see more silent films from you?
MICHEL HAZANAVICIUS:  From me or from him?
Q.	From both of you, from either of you.
THOMAS LANGMANN:  I have done my last one.
Q.	This is it?
MICHEL HAZANAVICIUS:  I would love to make another one.  I won't do it now, because I don't want to -- this one is very special for me, it's a unique film for me.  And I don't want to make a movie that could be compared to The Artist, but I absolutely loved the process and the way to work and how -- this is a very different form of expression; it's not like a normal movie without dialogue.  It is another form of expression.  And I really, really loved making this movie.
But I think I -- I'll wait and if I, by chance, find the good script and the good idea to make another silent movie, I would love to do it.
Q.	Why do you think that audiences have engaged with the movie so strongly?
MICHEL HAZANAVICIUS:  I think it is very difficult to find one answer, simple answer.  It is the combination of a lot of things, but I believe -- I won't speak about the movie itself, because it is not easy for me, but I think the format is something really special; the way people can get involved in the storytelling process, because they put so much of themselves.  
And this is the very principle of movies.  The less you do as a director, the more the audience do -- the better the film is, because everyone makes his own movie.  So I think it helped.
Q.	The final question is a young lady there at the back.
Q.	Farah Niri(?) from Bloomberg.  I just wondered what movie projects have have been offered to you, if anything.  Have you been getting lots of knocks on your door, either you or Mr Langmann, the producer, ever since the success of the Artist which started at Cannes last year?
THOMAS LANGMANN:  I think he does have lots of knocks.
MICHEL HAZANAVICIUS:  Yes, I have a lot of propositions.  It is sure that my next movie will be with Tomas.  I mean, you can't lose such an idiot!  I mean, you can't lose a producer like that.  I mean, it would be stupid.
THOMAS LANGMANN:  I feel less stupid now, because -- he says I am stupid, but now with this in my hands and a Golden Globe, I don't feel stupid at all.
MICHEL HAZANAVICIUS:  You feel like a stupid producer with a BAFTA.  That's all!  I love him.
Q.	Do you think you will win the Oscars?
THOMAS LANGMANN:  Today it is the BAFTA and we are so proud of being here.  For me, I was raised in the UK and it is great to be here.
Q.	Ladies and gentlemen, the all-conquering: The Artist.
MICHEL HAZANAVICIUS:  Thank you.
