On this week’s episode of The Screen Podcast, the team unpacks what this year’s Bifa nominations say about the UK indie film industry at large.
Host Wendy Mitchell is joined by awards and box office editor Charles Gant and UK producer Helen Simmons (100 Nights Of Hero, Hoard) to delve into why the Bifa nominations included so few female filmmakers.
The trio also discussed the wider challenges facing the UK indie sector, including the disappearance of micro-budget features and challenges in the distribution landscape.
The Screen Podcast is produced by Ellie Calnan, with Wendy Mitchell serving as editorial director. New episodes every Thursday.
