The Film and TV Charity is excited to announce the launch of Behind the Scenes Week, the UK’s first week dedicated to celebrating everybody working behind the scenes in Film, TV, and cinema.
The charity is inviting everyone, from head honchos to new recruits, to #TurnTheCameraAround, and take a moment to celebrate one another.
Why Behind the Scenes Week?
It’s been a tough few years for everyone, not just in the industry but across the world. But, despite the hardships, the UK film, TV, and cinema industries have created and delivered some of their best work to date, informing, educating, and entertaining the nation – uniting us all with the power of truly world-class content. And that’s down to the contributions of everybody in the film, TV, and cinema community working together to create real magic.
The Film and TV Charity wants to celebrate the brilliant people behind that great work, and wants everyone to feel the love of that celebration, particularly those that might normally get overlooked. The Film and TV Charity wants everyone to feel valued and seen.
How you can get involved:
