A Report from the Diversify Summit

Women and Hollywood: Screen International and Broadcast hosted a diversity summit at the BAFTA headquarters yesterday, Diversify - Improving Diversity in Film and TV. The event was sold out and attendees were buzzing with ideas to share, proposals to present and criticisms to levy, cramming into the auditorium to grasp the opportunity to be heard. The day was long and the programme was filled with panel discussions on topics including "On-Screen Portrayal", "Flight of the Black Actor", "Are the Film and TV Industries a Closed Shop?" and "Women in Film and TV". The latter two discussions generated the most enthused and passionate debate about women of the day.
