BFI Film Academy Labs | The future is now: Shooting a short film in 2021
Thanks to the pandemic, we’re not the same as we were a year ago, and neither is the film industry. We’re entering an unprecedented era, not just because of COVID-19, but because issues like on-set culture, sustainability, diversity and cast and crew well-being are being questioned like never before.
In our September Lab panel discussion, our panellists discussed all about the things you’ll need to consider when making a short film in 2021 and beyond. What impact has COVID-19 had on safety practices? How do you make sure your set is diverse and that everyone’s well-being is prioritised? What about intimacy on-screen – how do you ensure your actors feel safe on set while filming intimate content? Our panel of industry experts explained what an ideal set looks like in 2021, how to make certain you’re following best practices, and more.
Guests:
Joshua Okpala – Intimacy Coordinator
Jane Doolan – Producer
Michelle White – Psychologist and Co-Director, 6FT From the Spotlight
Hosted by Rico Johnson-Sinclair – Race Equality Lead, BFI
This event is part of the Storytelling strand of BFI Film Academy Labs 2021/22.
