Today, BAFTA announces the nominations for the 2023 BAFTA Scotland Awards. 

Ahead of the Cymru Awards next Sunday and the Scotland Awards in November, we caught up with Rebecca Hardy, BAFTA Cymru’s interim head, and Jude MacLaverty, BAFTA Scotland’s director, to hear how their work supports their local communities, champions the creative industries, and helps safeguard the future of the UK’s culture and heritage. 

This year BAFTA welcomes 550 new full members and almost 900 Connect members to our community. We spoke with eight of them to find out about their roles in the industry, why they joined, and what they’re most looking forward to as new members. Here’s what we learned..

BAFTA recently surveyed 1000 full and Connect members working primarily in TV (c.26% response rate), to inform a panel discussion at Edinburgh TV Festival 2023 on industry recruitment and retention, chaired by BAFTA CEO Jane Millichip.
