About BFI Inclusion

The Inclusion Team are collaborative consultants who use expertise and lived experience to influence and advocate for inclusive culture and practice at the BFI and in the wider screen sector.

Our goal is to remove barriers, reduce harm and make the BFI and the film industry more accessible to everyone. We want to create a culture where everyone, regardless of their background, identity or lived experience, feels valued, respected and able to fully participate in everything we do.

We do this through community building spaces, knowledge sharing, consultancy and advocacy. Read more about our strategy.
