Book excerpt: Over the past year the success of British films at international film festivals - as well as the numerous awards bestowed on '12 Years a Slave' - have demonstrated that British cinema has undergone a genuine renaissance that has caused new voices to emerge. At the same time, directors whose work have enthralled over the past five years have also continued to develop and expand their visions. The boundaries of British film-making are being redefined.
