— BAFTA Chairman’s Message

A very warm welcome to the EE British Academy Film Awards in 2013. Amazingly, these are the 65th Film Awards since Sir David Lean and others founded the Academy in 1947. Tonight is about celebrating another phenomenal year in film, from wonderful homegrown British hits to the best of Hollywood and the rest of the world. Here at the Academy, we identify and reward excellence, inspire practitioners and benefit the public. We do this through our international Awards ceremonies, and through our comprehensive, world-class events programme, covering film, television and games. We couldn’t do either of those successfully without you – the industry, our members, supporters and partners. So, thank you. Last year, BAFTA was involved in more than 250 events, including masterclasses, lectures, seminars and debates, as well as putting together one of the biggest online resources for anyone seeking to enter our industries – BAFTA Guru (www.bafta.org/guru). Up-and-coming talent is inspired by the work and creativity of key individuals who are beacons in our industry. With this in mind, I am delighted that tonight we venerate two particularly talented individuals with our most important honours: the Fellowship and the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award. As a six-time BAFTA winner, Sir Alan Parker is the deserving recipient of our most prestigious honour, the Fellowship. After starting out as an advertising copywriter, he has gone on to write and direct some of our most enduring films, including Bugsy Malone, The Commitments and Midnight Express. From an inspirational British director to one of the British film industry’s most influential figures: Tessa Ross. As Controller of Film and Drama at Channel 4 for the past decade, she has made an enormous impact on the landscape of British cinema, having had a hand in bringing such BAFTA winners as This Is England, The Last King Of Scotland and Slumdog Millionaire to our screens. She is the worthy winner of our Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award. Thank you to the BAFTA juries, the Film Committee, chaired by Nik Powell, and to all BAFTA staff, led by Amanda Berry and Kevin Price, for their tireless work. And also to our headline sponsor, EE, which manages the publicly-voted EE Rising Star Award. We’ll be publishing tonight’s results live on Twitter (@BAFTA/ #EEBAFTAs), but stay connected with us to find out more about what we do when you leave here tonight; you will find all our red carpet highlights and backstage interviews with the winners on www.bafta.org, plus information on our year-round learning and events activity. To the nominees, I offer my congratulations on your incredible achievement. I wish everyone a wonderful evening. JOHN WILLIS Chairman of the Academy

WELCOME — Sponsor’s Message

2013 is already shaping up to be another special year for film, and I am honoured to be marking it through our new partnership with BAFTA. Having sponsored BAFTA for the past 15 years as Orange, we’re now ready to take our partnership to new heights with our pioneering superfast 4G and fibre brand, EE. Throughout 2012, we developed and delivered a new digital backbone for Britain, allowing people to trade, travel and transport things across great distances at the touch of a button. Ultimately, this digital network will have a transformational impact on the way we consume and connect with the things we love – music, books, TV and, of course, the movies. We’ve already launched the EE Film Store, where our customers can download the latest releases – straight out of the cinema and onto their connected device. It’s this kind of innovation that complements the work we began with the UK cinema industry many years ago, helping drive audience numbers up through our ‘2 for 1’ ticket offer every Wednesday. We’re very proud of these pioneering services which continue to delight our customers, cinema audiences and the industry week in, week out. The EE British Academy Film Awards is the highlight of the film calendar in the UK, both for the industry and the general public. As lead sponsor, we once again have the opportunity to recognise a young actor or actress who has demonstrated exceptional talent and ambition, and has captured the imagination of the British public. The EE Rising Star Award was created eight years ago in honour of casting director Mary Selway and past winners include Tom Hardy, Kristen Stewart, Noel Clarke and James McAvoy, with Adam Deacon winning the award in 2012. It remains the only award at the EE British Academy Film Awards to be voted for by the British public. I would like to take this opportunity to thank this year’s jury for their expertise, time and dedication in selecting the shortlist of five Rising Stars – Pippa Harris (our jury chair), Benedict Cumberbatch, Kevin Macdonald, Mark Kermode, Nina Gold, Kate Lee, Chris Hewitt, Paul Flynn, Charles Gant, Larushka Ivan-Zadeh and Jonny Pile. With EE paving the way for the role of technology and innovation bringing new opportunities to the film industry across the world, we look forward to an ongoing and exciting relationship with BAFTA through our shared passion for film. OLAF SWANTEE CEO of EE

ARGO

— Best Film Nominee Words by Wendy Ide


Best Film Nominee

ARGO

Words by Wendy Ide — Wendy Ide is a film critic and features writer for The Times

— “Ben Affleck effectively places the audience on the rack and tightens it incrementally.” — 44

A white-knuckle nail-biter of a film, punctuated with affectionate, sharply-observed movie industry satire: Ben Affleck’s hostage rescue movie is one of 2012’s most robustly entertaining pictures. The film is based on extracts from the book The Masters Of Disguise by former CIA operative Tony Mendez (played by Affleck) and a 2007 Wired article (‘The Great Escape’). It’s an account of the extraction of six American embassy staff from Tehran during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. The six had managed to escape when militants stormed the embassy, and sought refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Mendez’s ingenious solution is to draft the assistance of a pair of jaded Hollywood insiders (Alan Arkin and John Goodman) and create a fake movie production, titled Argo, which is scouting for locations in Iran. The embassy staff members are given a crash course in film production and assume new identities as crew members. Affleck’s take on the event may be a loose interpretation of the facts (the chronology of some events is rearranged and the truth is tweaked for dramatic effect), but there is no questioning the authenticity of the storytelling. The attention to period detail is meticulous: from the choice of font for the opening titles to the colour palette of nicotine and coffee stain browns which unerringly evokes the late 1970s, to the synthetic fabrics which are clammy with the nervous sweat of those whose lives depend on an audacious lie: the entire film feels entirely rooted in the period. Affleck shot predominantly on film (mainly 35mm, with some Super8mm and Super16mm), then heightened the


Argo

graininess in some scenes still further to evoke the urgent, immediate feel of movies such as All The President’s Men (1976). Actual archive footage is incorporated throughout, and such is the rigorous attention to detail that this sourced material blends seamlessly with the newly shot footage. This is Affleck’s most ambitious and challenging film to date. Not only is it a period piece which is partially shot abroad (Turkey doubles for Iran), it is larger in scope, cast and budget than his previous pictures. Like his character, Mendez, Affleck had a lot of responsibility resting on his shoulders. It’s tempting to assume that Affleck used the stress of directing in his performance, and the perpetual anxiety that simmers under his CIA poker face is real. His performance is purposefully understated, the better to allow his fellow actors the space to shine. Arkin and Goodman’s wisecracking duo are irresistible, earning Arkin a Supporting Actor nomination. Meanwhile, among the shredded nerves and chewed fingernails of the embassy staff, a virtually unrecognisable Scoot McNairy stands out as the jittery Joe Stafford, a man who is ultimately crucial to the success of a plot in which he has no faith. The film – particularly the climactic scenes – is a masterclass in building suspense. Affleck effectively places the audience on the rack and tightens it incrementally. The meticulously constructed cover story seems as flimsy as a house of cards and destined to collapse before the escape is made. It’s so unbearably tense, you almost forget to breathe.

LES MISÉRABLES

— Best Film Nominee Words by Mark Kermode


Best Film Nominee

LES MISÉRABLES

Words by Mark Kermode — Mark Kermode is a film critic for BBC Radio 5 Live, The Observer and Sight And Sound, and a presenter of BBC Two’s The Culture Show

— “Filled with both sweeping long shots and intense close-ups, this is a proudly cinematic venture.” — 48

During the first weekend of its record breaking UK opening, Tom Hooper’s bold and brilliant screen adaptation of the hit stage musical Les Misérables produced a tidal wave of tears. According to news reports, not only was the film generating the same rounds of spontaneous applause which had greeted Hooper’s previous BAFTA winner, The King's Speech, but it was also reducing audiences of all ages – both male and female – to extraordinary displays of emotion. The reason why Les Misérables was having such an emotional impact on viewers became the source of debate not only on entertainment shows but also on serious news programmes, with everyone concluding that the film packed such a dramatic punch because (as with theatre) the players were really singing... Hooper’s determination to have his cast sing live on set, rather than miming to pre-recorded tracks, raised complex logistical problems, all of which were cleverly overcome by the first class production team. Hidden earpieces allowed the actors to perform to the sound of a pianist, whose playing of the orchestrations would later be matched – no mean feat (no wonder that the film’s multiple BAFTA nominations include Sound alongside Best Film and Outstanding British Film). In this way, every nuance of the vocal performances could be captured on set as the actors sang just as they would speak – to themselves, to each other, to the audience. Thus was Supporting Actress nominee Anne Hathaway able to deliver her breathtakingly fragile rendition of ‘I Dreamed A Dream’, captured in one continuous take, pitched somewhere between a whisper and a scream, between speech and song.


Les Misérables

Similarly, Leading Actor nominee Hugh Jackman could showcase the skills that had previously earned him an Olivier Award nomination for his lead role in the Royal National Theatre’s West End production of Oklahoma!, which he describes as “one of the highlights of my career”. Yet there is nothing stagey about Les Misérables; filled with both sweeping long shots and intense close-ups, this is a proudly cinematic venture, eager to take the audience beyond the boundaries of a theatrical production, as BAFTA nominee Danny Cohen’s camera darts in and out of the crowds. With its lavish production design and close attention to detail in costume and hair and make up (earning further nominations for Eve Stewart and Anna Lynch-Robinson, Paco Delgado and Lisa Westcott), the film invites the audience both to step back and to zoom in as it sweeps from panoramic vistas to intense intimacy in an instant. Those familiar with the stage show will find something new in the shape of the song ‘Suddenly’, written specifically for the film by Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Herbert Kretzmer. But perhaps the greatest triumph of Les Misérables is that (like Alan Parker’s Evita [1996]) it has also proved a hit with viewers who have little or no interest in musical theatre. A genuine crossover hit, this is more than just a great musical, or great theatrical adaptation. It’s a great film.

LIFE OF PI

— Best Film Nominee Words by Rosie Fletcher


Best Film Nominee

LIFE OF PI

Words by Rosie Fletcher — Rosie Fletcher is Associate Editor at Total Film

— “The virtual three-hander of boy, boat and untameable force is the crux of the film.” — 52

An ‘unfilmable’ book, an impossible story; director Ang Lee’s adaptation of Yann Martel’s beloved Man Booker prizewinning bestseller is a paean to the wonder and dread of nature, a tale to “make you believe in God”, which truly exalts the importance of storytelling and the sublime possibilities of cinema. A boy is stranded in a lifeboat on the Pacific Ocean with a Bengal tiger for 227 days. It’s little wonder a film version drifted in limbo for almost a decade – first finding port with directors M Night Shyamalan, Alfonso Cuarón and Jean-Pierre Jeunet before finally anchoring with Lee. His approach utilises both new technology and old to create wide canvas vistas of sky, sea and shipwreck-ees. “It needs a 3D structure,” says Lee. “It’s not just a gimmick, it’s not a cartoon, you’re doing drama. It’s almost like staging. You start thinking about that, and you have to look at things differently. It is a new film language.” Working with production designer David Gropman, with whom he collaborated on Taking Woodstock (2009), Lee’s division of screen space was inspired by the theatre (proscenium arch, wings and backdrop), with 3D used to create depth, detail and epic scope. Violent storms soak the screen; clouds are reflected in the still ocean with watercolour tranquillity; a whale breaches with breathtaking beauty before splashing and trashing Pi’s carefully conserved food supply. The unbridled marvel and magnitude of nature is paramount, not least in the harrowing, eye-defying sinking of the Japanese freighter Tsimtsum, which is transporting Pi, aka Piscine Molitor


Life Of Pi

Patel, his family and the menagerie of animals from their Pondicherry zoo in India to Canada, where they plan to relocate after the animals are sold. Bookended by Slumdog Millionaire’s Irrfan Khan as the adult Pi, relating his life-affirming spiritual tale to Rafe Spall’s Yann Martel, we begin in French India, with young Pi (Ayush Tandon) collecting religions as other children would football cards. Yet it’s the virtual three-hander of boy, boat and untameable force that’s the crux of the film, with newcomer, and non-swimmer, Suraj Sharma taking centre stage as the lone youth in the hands of fate. Sharma is vulnerable and committed, howling at the sky, batted about like a doll by the elements. If Sharma’s performance is impressive, it’s overshadowed only by Richard Parker, the marauding, snarling, big cat, who is never less than mesmerising. Realised by a mix of CGI, animatronics and four live tigers, he’s as convincing a beast as any creature created on celluloid, anthropomorphised only by Pi’s craving for meaning and companionship. Ang Lee has experience with adaptations (Sense And Sensibility [1995], Brokeback Mountain [2005]) and spectacle (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon [2000], Hulk [2003]) and if he makes small changes to Martel’s story in removing the more gruesome cruelty of the animals at sea, he loses none of the wonder. Regardless of convincing us of the existence of a deity, Lee’s film reminds us of the true power and awe of cinema. It doesn’t matter if the audience believes Pi’s story: we can hardly believe our eyes.

LINCOLN

— Best Film Nominee Words by Ian Nathan

LINCOLN

Words by Ian Nathan — Ian Nathan is executive editor of Empire

— “It is a film about real politics. How ideals must be carried by art and guile, if not outright chicanery. ” — 56

After 12 elusive years in development, when Steven Spielberg finally unveiled his cinematic appreciation of Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States, critics were taken aback. They were surprised at what it wasn’t. It wasn’t, for instance, the awaited biopic of the stovepiped emancipator, dour as an undertaker, from dirt-poor Kentucky childhood to the White House. It wasn’t a Civil War epic, a recalibration of Saving Private Ryan’s (1998) roiling battlefields to the greys and blues of the 1860s. It wasn’t hagiography. It wasn’t whitewash. And no JFK conspiracies were hatched for the man who would shoot Honest Abe. Tony Kushner’s script, based on Doris Kearns Goodwin’s masterful biography Team Of Rivals, had indeed grown to span the life of the greatest President — an extraordinary, ‘DW Griffith’ picture of Lincoln’s momentous life running to 550 pages. But in a brilliant calculation, Spielberg took only the last 50 pages, sharpening his aim upon Lincoln’s final four months in office and his struggle to get the 13th Amendment passed, outlawing slavery, thus saving America’s soul. A gamble that would require him to delay peace in the Civil War. Here, not at Gettysburg, was the lodestone to the Lincoln myth. “I’ve always had a passion for his deeds,” Spielberg says of his revisionist slant. “Not the image America has embraced, but his actual deeds.” Let us attend then to what Lincoln, the film, most certainly is… It is a film about real politics. How ideals must be carried by art and guile, if not outright chicanery. This purest of presidents was willing to bully, cajole and bribe voters to pass his inviolate bill in the House of Representatives. James


Lincoln

Spader heads a trio of hilarious whips who gallop across the US applying political thumbscrews to flighty representatives. Lincoln, we swiftly learn, is no saint. It is a film about words. Kushner’s script is a marvel of oration – a compendium of Twainian whimsy, Shakespearean musicality and Biblical fury. Here is a playwright’s delight in the rhythms and oddities of language, never ducking the dense fabric of legislative vernacular, challenging both actors and audiences with long, rich, often very funny speeches. It is a film with many great performances and a single magnificent one. Daniel Day-Lewis’ Lincoln – reed-voiced, stiff-limbed and strangely aloof – is a font of inscrutable anecdotes, but the conviction beneath comes ironclad. Power requires the powerful. There has been much talk about how Spielberg has pulled back from his natural flourishes, careful not to upstage history. “This is as close as I have got to directing for the stage,” he laughs. Yet this is also a film about style. Lincoln is a deeply beautiful work, veiling Washington in a light thickened with dust, tobacco smoke and time itself, through which we peer into the whiskey-dark luxuriance of its interior world. Finally, this is a film about Spielberg. It speaks of a director, 40-something years into his career, still enthralled by his medium. As with Schindler’s List (1993) and Munich (2005), Spielberg has proven himself an impassioned artist who looks to history as a bellwether for his own times. Daring to present democracy, however flawed, as a necessity. Convinced cinema can both grapple with the world and fill us with wonder. Here, as Spielberg hoped, is a “living president”.

ZERO DARK THIRT Y

— Best Film Nominee Words by Kim Newman


Best Film Nominee

ZERO DARK THIRT Y

Words by Kim Newman — Kim Newman is an award-winning author and a film critic for, among others, Sight And Sound and Empire

— “In contrast to the Bourne and Bond films, Zero Dark Thirty is about the minute details of spycraft.” — 60

As soon as Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader who instigated the 9/11 attacks, was found in Pakistan by the CIA and assassinated by US special forces, it was inevitable there would be films about the kill mission. Zero Dark Thirty was actually in development already, originally intended as a film about the CIA’s frustrating failure to track down the world’s most wanted terrorist… after 2 May 2011 it had an ending. This resolution was a mixed blessing for the film in that director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal – reteaming after their hit with The Hurt Locker (2008), arguably the first great film to emerge from the ‘War on Terror’ – had to tell a long, complicated story and maintain suspense, even though audiences already knew how the story panned out. Bigelow says: “Our thinking was this is about the people, the men and women on the ground in the workforce, who found this house, and then, therefore, found this man. Ultimately, it is not really about him as much as it is about them. They humanized that hunt and humanized that journey. It’s their story. The fact that you knew the ending only amplified the drama.” In pointed contrast to the Bourne and Bond films, Zero Dark Thirty is about the minute details of spycraft – gathering scraps of information from interrogations (‘enhanced’ or affable), satellite photos, phone-taps, informants, undercover operatives and travel or financial records, and trying to work out the location of the unseen bin Laden in the same way astronomers can tell the path of an object that is out of sight from the effect it has on the trajectory of other objects.


Zero Dark Thirty

All this is complicated by both changes of policy, as a new political administration rules out “the detainee program”, and sheer fatigue, with the Great White Whale set to simply disappear forever. It’s a densely-populated, world-spanning, jittery narrative, but Bigelow and Boal make it possible to follow and easy to relate to by focusing on Maya ( Jessica Chastain), an unlikelyseeming intelligence analyst. Maya grows from turning up in a suit and quivering in a corner as her colleague waterboards a suspect to dodging bullets in the field and seizing terrierlike on the lead that turns up the target. Like Jeremy Renner in The Hurt Locker, Chastain delivers an emblematic character for this particular war, and an emotional through-line which pays off in the tense, tough, ruthlessly matter-of-fact assault on Abbottabad. In a coda, the film suggests that though this story has its ending, the issues are still fundamentally unresolved. Bigelow says: “I think what’s so interesting and so poignant for Jessica, myself, for all of us, is this idea that this woman has spent the last ten years exclusively in the pursuit of one man and yes, at the end of the day, she triumphed, but it’s not a victory because finally, at the end, you’re left with much larger questions, such as, ‘Where does she go from here? Where do we go from here? Now what?’”

Academy Fellowship

SIR AL AN PA RKER —Words by Quentin Falk

— “The Fellowship is as important as anything I have ever been awarded. It means an enormous amount to me.” — 64

For a filmmaker already among the most garlanded in BAFTA history, the ultimate award of this year’s Fellowship to writerdirector Sir Alan Parker still somehow manages to take his breath away. This will be the seventh award from the Academy in a career which has spanned more than four decades and 14 features. Four have rewarded his work on the films Bugsy Malone (1976), Midnight Express (1978) and The Commitments (1991), while a fifth, presented in 1985 when Parker was barely 40, acknowledged his Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema. “When it was first mooted I might get the Fellowship, I thought about what I might say… you know, the beginnings of my speech. Then ten years passed…” laughs Parker with a great, disarming roar. “It’s as important as anything I have ever been awarded. It means an enormous amount to me.” His shelf of BAFTA trophies doesn’t even begin to convey the breadth of Parker’s other film-related activities, which include stints as Chairman of the British Film Institute and as inaugural Chair of the British ( later UK) Film Council. A knighthood for services to the film industry in the New Year Honours list of 2002 followed his CBE in 1995. But, it is for his work behind the camera that Parker has created, at 68, his most enduring legacy. There are two distinct strands in the bulk of his filmography: the “issue” drama, exemplified by Mississippi Burning (1988) (civil rights) and The Life Of David Gale (2003) (capital punishment), and music, as portrayed so popularly in five of his films, including Bugsy Malone (1976), Fame (1980 ), Evita (1996 ) and The

Commitments. A fifth, Pink Floyd – The Wall, directed in the same year as Shoot The Moon (1982), his most “personal” film, arguably created the template for the succeeding onrush of innovative music promos. Yet his entry into directing arrived more by good luck than judgement. As a young copywriter who’d entered advertising straight from school without any real qualifications, he had already written yards of commercials, and begun honing his cartooning skills, before joining one of the most successful agencies, Collett Dickenson Pearce (CDP) in his early 20s, where the likes of David Puttnam and Charles Saatchi were already employed. After creating a stir with a newspaper ad for sherry – leading one of his bosses to exclaim, amusedly, “Alan, in all these years of putting Harvey’s Bristol Cream on a pedestal, you come along and sell it off a barrow” – Parker asked if he and a skeleton team could have some money “to experiment” making television commercials, then still in their infancy. His request was granted, so with someone operating a 16mm camera, another art directing and a third working the Nagra tape recorder, that left Parker, 23 at the time, “as the only one who couldn’t actually do anything. So they suggested I’d better be the one who said ‘Action!’” The resulting experiments impressed his bosses, who asked him to start up his own production company with a generous, interest-free loan. He poached Alan Marshall, “the best producer in the agency”, and together with a secretary, they set up shop in Soho. “Probably 90 per cent of our work was for CDP at the

outset, and in that first year, we won just about every award going,” recalls Parker. Marshall would, of course, become Parker’s strong rightarm, first on a series of shorts then on seven features over the next dozen years. However, before they embarked on Bugsy Malone in 1976, Parker’s own full-length debut was with a television production of Jack Rosenthal’s The Evacuees (1975), which earned him his first BAFTA for Single Play. Despite early admiration for the Hollywood movies of the likes of Elia Kazan (On The Waterfront [1954]) and Fred Zinnemann (High Noon [1952]), his main inspirations were strictly domestic, small screen affairs, such as Ken Loach’s Cathy Come Home (1966) and Ken Russell’s Elgar (1962). The beginning of his own awards trail in television was clearly rather poignant. “I was obsessed with how brilliant Loach and Tony Garnett were when I was a young filmmaker and I remember asking them how they did it. They replied: ‘Stop asking us how we did it and ask instead, why we did it?’ That’s something I’ve carried over into lectures I give when I go to film schools and the students tend to go on about the technical stuff. I tell them it’s what you say, rather than how you say it.” The aforementioned Zinnemann would become a rather unlikely mentor. “He seemed to take a shine to me and my work, and I used to go to his office and show him my films before anyone else. He loved Birdy (1984). But when I showed him Angel Heart (1987), he told me afterwards, ‘Alan, being a film director is an incredible privilege; don’t waste it.’” Although he still works “on something everyday” – there have been screenplays for, among others, Coram Boy and Blood Brothers, as well as a novel, The Sucker’s Kiss – Parker hasn’t actually made a new film for ten years.This doesn’t faze him, although he admits he misses the “camaraderie and madness of the film set”. He continues: “I started when I was 23 and haven’t really stopped. Writing a screenplay is a bit like making a film but without the camera. It gets very tiring. I’m also proud of what I’ve done. I’ve always said that you can’t make films about life unless you live a life, and too many directors spend all their lives on film sets and in editing rooms.” Parker certainly doesn’t rule out a return to filmmaking. But, of the gruelling, time-consuming process, he says he’s reminded of a quote by the late, great Mario Zacchini, the original circus cannonball, who “wisely said that the blast of the cannon ejecting him into the air at 90mph was nothing compared with the rough part, which was landing in the net the other end.”

— “I love working and I work very hard. But I don’t believe it’s about me, in all honesty.” — 74

Humility is an unexpected quality to find amid the hyperbole and hullabaloo of the film industry. But talk to Tessa Ross, Controller of Film and Drama at Channel 4 and the recipient of the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema this year, and you will be struck by how keen she is to divert credit for her success with the broadcaster. Yet she must be doing something right to have been a part of so many hits over the past decade, including such diverse films as Enduring Love (2004), This Is England (2006), Happy-Go-Lucky (2008), Nowhere Boy (2009), The Last King Of Scotland (2006), The Lovely Bones (2009) and Slumdog Millionaire (2008). “It’s hugely humbling and I feel quite nervous just talking about it,” Ross explains, “because I know I’m going to have to stand up on a stage in front of some very famous and shiny, pretty people. It’s wonderful but it’s also the thing I least expected to have to do. However, it’s not about me, it’s about everybody else. “I was allowed to spend money from an organisation built 30 years ago to do this very thing. So I’ve taken on a mantle maybe in a new way, or in a different way, for the world in which we live now. But the purpose was created 30 years ago by David Rose and Jeremy Isaacs. It’s lovely when people say thank you, it’s absolutely wonderful because I love working and I work very hard. But I don’t believe it’s about me, in all honesty.” Such modesty is becoming in one who has built – with her team – such a successful track record, but it’s also refreshing, a sign of her firmly held priorities. Ross is not the sort to

the sort to race her fellow producers onto the stage to grab the prize, hog the limelight and make the speech. She is, by her own definition, a facilitator for the kind of behind the camera talents she clearly reveres. Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle has returned the compliment, stating in the past that he sees her as one of the few production executives who really understands how to make the business work. “I’ve grown up around people who have moaned all their lives about ‘bloody executives’,” she adds, “and in truth we are often – if not always – the baddies in any article, because as a group we’re seen to be the money, suits and uncreative. So, the question is how you do this job in a way that allows people to feel good about you so that they are able to come to you with their problems.” Ross and her team crave creative involvement in the projects they support, films that in these economically strained times are typically co-financed with a multitude of partners. But where some might be investing with an eye to financial profit, the Channel 4 business model is quite different to most others. “In a way, it’s because it’s not about money. When you’re working to a remit with a public purpose, the agenda is a cultural one more than anything else, and the job is to protect the talent in the way that you think is the most creative. This means that the work is the priority, and that’s incredibly liberating for most creative people.” Her own creativity has been expressed in a range of media since her graduation from Oxford University, beginning in theatre before coming under the wing of Bill Bryden at BBC

Scotland, an experience Ross recalls with great pleasure. “I was able to commission a huge number of screenwriters, playwrights, television writers. I commissioned Jimmy McGovern, Ken Campbell and Maureen Duffy, a whole host of really interesting pieces.” Now married with three children, Ross seems to have struck an equable balance between the professional and personal, so that neither has suffered from the demands of the other. When she joined Channel 4 more than ten years ago she began her rise to her current post. The broadcaster is a natural home for her in many ways, an easy observation in the hindsight of her successes, but a predictable one from the example set by David Rose the former Commissioning Editor for Fiction at Channel 4. “When I was at British Screen, I watched David work with such grace and so much wisdom, and yet the wisdom was never forced down people’s throats, I thought, ‘That’s how to do it,’ where every decision you make is not about you and your career, it’s about the talent that you’re supporting. “I’ve always thought, ‘Where are the clever people, and how can I make sure they can work here?’ Channel 4 was a perfect combination of trying to work at the edges and making sure that the discovery of new talent was as important as protecting those who you already knew existed.” The challenge for the future is making sure that all the talent at large in British cinema has the opportunity it needs to flourish. This underlines the significance of what Tessa Ross regards as her proudest achievement during the past decade – to have film production enshrined in the Channel 4 remit. “This happened on the back of a review in the House of Lords where they asked me to go and talk about the making of Slumdog Millionaire,” Ross explains. “I went to talk to a group of peers and the question was asked in that room if it would be helpful if film was in the remit, because film had never been in the remit.” She continues: “It’s been what Channel 4 has done all its life – making fiction on film is what it’s done from the Film On Four days – but this makes it unassailable. You always want to build things which, in governance terms, are protected forever and are not just dependent on success.You want them to be protected through good times and bad. So, now it’s in the remit, it would be very hard for the next generation not to continue to commit to film.” All humility aside, that’s a pretty notable achievement.
