About this Event

We are making space at Sheffield DocFest to celebrate Black and Global Majority talent in the film industry.

Join us at The Botanist in Sheffield on Thursday 11 June from 6pm for an evening of drinks, community and connection. See you there!

Please note:

  • We welcome allies, but we are prioritising space for people from Black and Global Majority backgrounds.
  • Light refreshments and complimentary drinks will be available.

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.
