Melanie Goodfellow quotes RFer Nicky Bentham on BFI CEO Amanda Nevill’s talk about childcare for filmmakers:
UK lobby group Raising Films, aimed at improving working conditions for parents in the film industry, confirms it is consulting with the BFI on the idea.
“A lot of noise at Cannes, through the celebrity endorsements and high-profile discussions, is hugely beneficial when it comes to pushing the issue of diversity and inclusion,” says Raising Films co-founder and producer Nicky Bentham. “There’s a real momentum now but we need to make sure we go beyond the debates and bring change with practical measures, which is what we’re trying to do.”
