SAMAIRA IQBAL WON BAFTA’S YOUNG PRESENTER 2021 COMPETITION, SUPPORTED BY SKY KIDS’ FYI. AS PART OF HER PRIZE, SHE WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERVIEW HER DREAM SPORTS PERSONALITY.
OMG “
I’M INTERVIEWING JESSE LINGARD!” That’s exactly the right level of excitement you would expect from any football-mad teenager. And so it was with 15-year-old Samaira Iqbal, repeating this phrase over and over when she learned that the Manchester United and England player was to be her first interviewee after winning the annual Young Presenter competition.

Samaira says she became interested in presenting as early as year six (around age 10) and had already done a few “presenting bits and bobs”, but entered the BAFTA competition more on

a whim. “I saw there was a competition and told my sister,” she explains. “We thought there was no way we would win, but we’d give it a go. The theme was ‘express yourself ’, so we decided to do it about British Sign Language (BSL), to spread awareness. I interviewed her, just a little sisterly bond on camera.” Good communication is vital in Samaira’s world. Her little sister, Rubi, as well as her parents, aunt and uncle are deaf, so BSL was the first language she learnt. She also has an infectious personality and a keen mind, priceless traits for a presenter. “Being in front of the camera is just what I want to do,” she notes. “I know how big this could be. This is BAFTA and BAFTA is massive. It’s already opened a lot of doors.” As for that Lingard interview: “I don’t think you could enjoy something more. He’s such a chill guy, it was easy to make a connection. Hopefully, it’s the first of many. Can you imagine?

GREAT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A BAFTA YOUNG GAME DESIGNERS SUPERTEAM ENTERS A CLIMATE CHANGE-THEMED GAME JAM? THEY SHOWCASE THEIR GAME AT COP26 AND TO ROYALTY, NATURALLY. Climate change is front page news, but communications on how and what changes we should make are often complex and confusing. One way to encourage positive action is through engaging storytelling, and this was the challenge set by Abertay University for a game jam sponsored by SSE Thermal, themed around carbon capture technology. Four students teamed up to create a climate action game, Net Carbon, that would not only win the jam but also go on to be finetuned and displayed at UN climate change conference COP26. All four talented students are former BAFTA Young Game Designers (YGD) alumni, namely: Harry Petch, Cam Tuliao, Jaime Williams and Jordan Han. “It feels like YGD is one big family to me,” says Harry, who was twice a YGD finalist and also the winner of the Mentor Award. “We created a game that we all felt had some nice nuance. It was quite simple but we were happy with it... COP26 was overall a very valuable experience and we had some lovely feedback.” Earlier this year, Harry was invited to BAFTA 195 Piccadilly to present Net Carbon to HRH The Duke of Cambridge at the first official event to be held in our fully redeveloped HQ. The event was a showcase of new talent and included the launch of a new career development bursary in Prince William’s name, as well as the announcement of a new tier of membership for emerging practitioners. 16

“
It was great to chat to the other BAFTA beneficiaries about their journeys,” Harry says. “And it’s not every day you get to present your game to Prince William. It still feels a little surreal, but it was awesome... He’s really interested in the arts and what BAFTA does to give back to people. It was a real morale boost for our team and added that little extra bit of validation.” They may still be students right now, but clearly there’s more to come from Team YGD. Watch this space.

The BFA was founded in 1947 with the aim of “stimulating exceptional
creative work” and supporting and celebrating British filmmakers during a period of intensified competition from American films in the post-war period. BAFTA’s current mission has expanded far beyond the BFA’s original ambitions, but if this small group of exceptional British filmmakers had not taken that first big step then the arts charity would not be here today.

I actually cried,” blushes hair and make-up artist Alesha Ledeatte-Williams, recalling the moment she was interviewed after applying for a BAFTA scholarship. “It was one of those times when you think to yourself, ‘This is my only opportunity...’ Without the scholarship, I wouldn’t be working in the industry now, I reckon. And that’s the truth.”
“
Tears aside, in 2018 Alesha did receive a Prince William Scholarship in Film, Games and Television, supported by BAFTA and Warner Bros. With the funds, she was able to pay more than half of the fee to complete her 30-week advanced course in Make-Up and Hair Artistry at The Iver Make-Up Academy, a practical course taught by industry veterans, which has been instrumental in helping her forge a career in film and television. She’s already landed jobs on Sex Education and No Time to Die. There wasn’t anything else available for hair and make-up specifically back then,” says Alesha, who was 31 at the time of her course. “It took a huge burden off my shoulders. And, as a mature student, it felt really encouraging that BAFTA would invest in me... It not only gave me access to study, it also gave me credentials. BAFTA is a big brand, so to be able to put it on my CV makes people look twice.” Read the full interview: bafta.org/about/awards-brochures 21

CHARLIE COOPER Male Performance in a Comedy Programme for This Country Charlie stepped out into the countryside near his hometown of Stroud to do a spot of fishing. This was Charlie’s seventh BAFTA nomination for writing and starring in This Country; previously winning three for Breakthrough Talent and Scripted Comedy in 2018 and Writer: Comedy in 2019. Charlie and his sister, Daisy Cooper, were also named as a Breakthrough duo in 2017.

It was while attending a round table with a big Hollywood writer, organised as part of BFI NETWORK x BAFTA Crew, the development programme for emerging and mid-level creatives, that Edward Cripps asked if it would be possible to do something similar with a British creative who was closer to their entry level. BAFTA subsequently arranged a round table with Charlie Covell, the former BAFTA Breakthrough (2015) who had just been nominated for writing The End of the F•••ing World (2017). “Charlie was very kind and candid and we kept in touch afterwards,” he says. 26

Skip forward to 2019 and things had taken a downturn – Edward was ushering in a cinema in order to make ends meet. However, his writer aspirations remained and he had been accepted for BFI Flare x BAFTA, a more intimate offshoot of Crew that supports LGBTQIA+ filmmakers. As part of the initiative, recipients get to choose a mentor and at the top of Edward’s list was Charlie. PHOTOS: BAFTA/Alecsandra Raluca Dragoi; BAFTA/Ian Derry 27
“She very kindly agreed,” he notes. “I’d written a sample script and it just happened to be in a similar genre to her next project, Kaos. She liked the script and so did the producers, so I pitched some storylines and wrote some sample scenes... When she called to say I’d gotten the job to join the writers’ room, I was on my shift at the cinema. I just went into the toilets and cried.” Edward now has two projects in development, one with Two Brothers Pictures and the other with Objective Fiction, as well as a film treatment (“a queer coming-of-age vampire flick”), currently in the process of applying for funding.
“
I can trace it all back to Crew,” Edward states. “It’s really changed my life, especially the Flare scheme. It’s given me a huge confidence boost... The dream is to have my own project with its own writers’ room, but right now I’m focused on getting more experience and credits and working with people I can learn from.”

xtracts from issue #1 (winter 1959) of the Journal, the first member publication by the Society of Film and Television Arts (SFTA), formed earlier that year from the merger of the British Film Academy and the Guild of Television Producers and Directors. The amalgamation of these
two leading industry bodies represented the, sometimes grudging, acceptance that British practitioners were increasingly working across both film and television. Notably, the Journal’s first issue explored the newly emerging format of ‘videotape’ and how it was impacting both industries.

RICHARD CURTIS IS A BAFTA-WINNING WRITER, DIRECTOR, HUMANITARIAN AND A PASSIONATE ADVOCATE FOR MAKING MORE FILMS, GAMES AND TELEVISION PROGRAMMES TACKLING SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE. If ever there was a need to change a narrative with global implications then now is the time for sustainability and climate action. Film, games and television can play their part in ensuring this message is driven home to the public not just through documentaries or current affairs programming but through all genres. This was the message from writer-director Richard Curtis in an address given at a Project Everyone panel held at COP26 in November 2021. Curtis is a key voice from the screen industries highlighting the impact of climate change and has long been a supporter of albert, the leading screen industry organisation for environmental sustainability, which is now officially part of BAFTA. 30
Curtis revealed how great films had impacted his understanding of the world, noting how The China Syndrome (1979) had “nailed me on the subject of nuclear power,” while Ken Loach’s Raining Stones (1993) had taught him “more about the texture and reality of poverty than every article in the Guardian.” He now thinks it’s time that film, games and television did the same for climate change.
“
This isn’t about preaching,” he added. “I suspect it’s not even about raising awareness – we might be beyond that now... We need to inspire action and innovation by making it dramatic and interesting. We need to show the terrible price of climate change but also the success stories, so people really see how change can happen... I truly believe every genre has its role... My motto has always been: to make things happen, you have to make things. And this is the moment to make things about climate. It’s worth the world to try.”

I’m looking for projects that feel like they haven’t been done before, at least not through a mainstream lens. Things that feel fresh and exciting, from voices that haven’t had much chance to tell their stories before. It’s amazing to be recognised by BAFTA... Breakthrough was recommended to me by my friend, composer Segun Akinola, who did it back in 2017... He’d gotten a lot out of it and made some good connections. It just sounded like a really good opportunity.

“I FIND MYSELF GRAVITATING TOWARDS STORIES
I didn’t really know film was a job and never considered it when I was younger. I read a lot and had kind of decided that I was going to be an author. That all went off the rails when I turned 12 and my friend got this [DSLR] camera. My friend was using it for photography but I realised it could also do video and started playing around with it. I became obsessed... Editing was the thing I was drawn to – it was the bit that was most exciting to me as it felt like that that was where the film came alive.

I studied art history at university first. By the end of it, the only thing I knew was that I didn’t want to study other people’s work, I wanted to create things myself. By coincidence, I worked on a short film and it opened a whole new world of possibilities. Film was always something you just watched in the cinema, it wasn’t something I thought I could ever do. It was not part of my world in Barcelona.

REPRESENTATION BEING THE DRIVING
“
IN A IDEAL WORLD, WORDS LIKE ‘INCLUSION’ AND ‘REPRESENTATION’ WOULD NOT BE A THING. JOBS WOULD GO TO THE PERSON MOST SUITABLE, SELECTED BY TALENT AND EXPERIENCE. SADLY, WE DON’T LIVE IN THAT WORLD YET, BARRIERS DO EXIST AND THE PLAYING FIELD IS NOT LEVEL. BUT WE’RE WORKING ON IT...
It’s not about equality of outcome, it’s about equality of opportunity,” says actress Melissa Johns, star of Coronation Street (2017-2019), Life (2020) and Grantchester (2021), and member of the 21-strong cohort of actors selected in 2019 for BAFTA Elevate, an initiative supporting talented individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to reach the next stage of their career. 41
“
If we have equality of opportunity, then surely you will get the best person for the job. But, until those casting doors are open for everybody, you will never know if that’s truly what you have.”
Melissa is in a strong position to comment. Born without her right arm below the elbow, she has not only had to overcome intolerance in everyday life, but also accept herself for who she is, all while trying to forge a career in a profession that is riddled with many more rejections than it is successes. “What we need to remember is that we are as worthy of getting roles and being in this industry as anyone else,” she says. “Our industries will always be richer with more voices. We can tell stories that take our lived-in experiences into consideration and portray characters in a completely different way. That’s what we bring to the table. Rather than representation being the driving force, why can’t it be the by-product? Our talent should get us to where we need to be.” Melissa is the co-founder of TripleC, which runs DANC (the Disabled Artists Networking Community). BAFTA has been working with both to help make the industry more inclusive. “As an actor, BAFTA has encouraged me, empowered me and celebrated me in my own right,” she says. “But I also see the work they’re doing with my organisation towards making long-lasting changes. BAFTA has all the ingredients to be one of our biggest game changers and champions to level out the industry.” Read the full interview: bafta.org/about/ awards-brochures

Two years earlier, Lord Puttnam had been instrumental in ensuring there was a place for celebrating interactive entertainment by adding these Awards to BAFTA’s calendar.

WORDS: Neil Smith | PHOTOS: BAFTA; BAFTA/Andy Buchanan; BAFTA/Doug McKenzie; BAFTA/Sylviane Poitau | PORTRAIT: Sarah Dunn
Clockwise from top left: With actor Judi Dench and wife Pamela Stephenson at A Tribute to Billy Connolly in 2002; his 2012 A Life in Pictures, hosted by Francine Stock and held in Glasgow; hosting the 1995 Awards, with Joan Collins as citation reader
By a quirk of fate, BAFTA trophies tend to come Sir Billy Connolly’s way every 10 years. It was in 2002 that the gregarious Scot received a Special Award, while 2012 saw him celebrated by BAFTA Scotland for his Outstanding Contribution to Film and Television. It seems fitting, then, that 2022 should bring him the Academy’s highest honour, one he accepts with gratitude and his usual good humour. “I had no idea the Fellowship existed but I’m told it’s a big deal,” he chuckles. “It’s lovely to be recognised and to become a jolly good fellow.
”
Having been nominated several times for his work, the Big Yin is no stranger to BAFTA, but having been born in a Glasgow tenement flat, the young Connolly surely had no ken that such elevation awaited him. It was a passion to perform that led him first to music and then stand-up and by the early 1970s, nationwide comedy tours were happening.

Television success eluded him, however, until 1975, when he was invited to make the first of 15 memorable appearances on Michael Parkinson’s chat show. “It was a huge breakthrough,” he admits. “It made me 10 times more famous than I was.
”
At A Tribute to Julie Walters in 2003 with the young Harry Potter cast; at his BAFTA Tribute in 2002
Although being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2013 has obliged him to stop performing live, it has not prevented him from appearing in films or on television, including the very recent Billy Connolly Does... series (2022). “It’s really important to work, to draw, to write, to walk silly for your grandchildren,” he reflects. “I don’t let the Parkinson’s dictate who I am – I just get on with it. I’ve had a very successful career and I have no regrets.” Read the full interview: bafta.org/television/features/fellowship-2022 86

A BAFTA Special Award was presented to TripleC, a gateway organisation for deaf, disabled or neurodiverse people to access the arts and media. Founded five years ago by actors Cherylee Houston and Melissa Johns, Triple C is a collective of disabled and non-disabled creatives, focused on changing access to the arts for people with disabilities. Together, they are working towards better representation of disabled talent on our screens and in our theatres. It’s no exaggeration to say that when you have seen disabled talent onscreen these past few years, TripleC was either directly involved or a member of its 1,300-plus Disabled Artists Networking Community (DANC) was part of the conversation.
