Research Opportunity for Improving Working Conditions in Film and Television

The British Film Institute (BFI) is seeking a supplier to continue the work initiated by the BFI Skills Review 2022. This research aims to address specific evidence gaps in the screen production sector, which includes film, high-end television, and broadcast television. The goal is to support the Good Work initiative, which focuses on enhancing working conditions for individuals in these sectors. The research will provide insights into current working practices and cultures during pre-production, production, and post-production phases. It will explore the factors influencing these practices and highlight the potential risks—economic, social, political, and moral—if no changes are made. Additionally, the research will identify best practices for flexible working arrangements and offer evidence-based recommendations for necessary structural changes to improve working conditions.
