BAME film workers still face significant inequalities six years after the standards were introduced, finds report from LSE
The
British film industry is failing to make significant headway in tackling discrimination against black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) workers both behind and in front of the camera, according to new research.
In a report entitled Race and Ethnicity in the
UK Film Industry, Dr Clive Nwonka, fellow in film at the
London School of Economics, has investigated the industry’s response to the BFI diversity standards that were introduced in 2014 to try to improve the BAME presence in production crews and subject matter in British films.
