In late October of last year BAFTA announced their 2016 Breakthrough Brits cohort. It is the fourth such contingent spotlighted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, providing invaluable support and a host of possibilities for those on the programme.
We spoke exclusively to the ‘Class of ’16’ shortly after the announcement was made, and the sense of potential the programme offered was tangibly felt. Part of the great work done by BAFTA is in the guidance offered to the new generation of creative artists. It is an essential part of their work, as much as it is an essential part of our cultural identity.
Today we are continuing our ongoing coverage of the BAFTA Breakthrough Brits programme by finding out exactly what made the initiative so important to emerging talent.
