F1) Special Event

Deeds Not Words: A Deep Dive into What Works and What Doesn’t to Achieve Gender Equity in the Screen Industries

Room: BH(S) 1.01

Following the conclusion of the three-year international Gender Equity Policy (GEP) Analysis Project, this special event brings together screen industry expertise, academic insight, and lived experience to catalyse change. In a series of panels, personal testimony and roundtable conversations, industry practitioners and academics from the GEP Analysis Project consider the core questions of the project and where we go from here:

1. What are the industry norms, structures and practices that constrain women’s participation in the international screen industries?

2. How can policy and interventions most effectively deliver fundamental shifts in industry norms, structures and practices and improve women’s participation in the global screen industries?

Detailed information on the conclusions of the GEP Analysis Project will be presented earlier in the day at panel E1 of the Media Industries conference. The event continues over sessions F1 and G1, bringing together an audience of conference delegates and screen industries professionals. This is a closed ticket only event and places were allocated through the invitation circulated before the conference.

Where Have All the PMs Gone? Addressing the Production Management Skills Gap in UK TV

Room: BH(S) 1.01

This event, run in association with Women in Film and Television, is the formal launch of an industry-facing report on production management in the UK’s TV industry. The research was undertaken by Bournemouth University’s Centre for Excellence in Media Practice (CEMP) and funded by the British Academy and Leverhulme Trust. It will bring together industry stakeholders, representatives of support organisations and academics with an interest in the area.

Jobs in the UK’s screen sector are typically seen as aspirational, yet skills shortages are a perennial problem for the industry. Production Managers (PMs) consistently head the lists of reported shortages across film and television, along with the more junior roles that should provide a pipeline of new talent. The problem has often been regarded within the industry as one of recruitment, however retention is also a problem. Experienced individuals are regularly lost to alternative television careers or leave the industry altogether. Through exploring the motivations and experiences of PMs and ex-PMs, our research has sought to better understand:

• how and why individuals are attracted into production management roles in the first place.
• why PMs (and people in more junior ‘feeder’ roles) leave production management or leave the industry altogether.
• how the industry might attract more individuals into the production ‘talent pipeline’ and, critically, retain the skilled and talented individuals who already have experience in these roles.

This is a closed ticket only event and places were allocated through the invitation circulated before the conference.
