The nominations for the British Independent Film Awards have been announced - revealing the very best the industry has had to offer in the past year.

Andrea Arnold's dizzying US road movie American Honey and Ken Loach's stirring benefits drama I, Daniel Blake were both honoured in multiple categories; alongside smaller films from debut directors, such as Rachel Tunnard's comedy Adult Life Skills and Babak Anvari's horror Under the Shadow.

The awards also gave notice to international independent fare, with nominations for Taika Waititi's Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Kenneth Lonergan's Manchester By the Sea, Barry Jenkins' Moonlight, Deniz Gamze Ergüven's Mustang, and Maren Ade's Toni Erdmann.

Winners will be announced at a ceremony set to take place on 4 December, held at Old Billingsgate, London.
