About Us

British Screen Forum is where the best informed and most influential people in the UK screen sectors convene to interrogate issues of importance and influence policy and the thinking around policy.

The Forum provides a unique and trusted space for key players from the screen sectors to come together to debate the implications of the evolving landscape and the policy and regulatory environment, and to gain unrivalled insight into emerging themes and innovative technologies.

British Screen Forum has authority and impact – not only as a result of the influence, status and credibility of its members, the unrivalled quality of its insight and the high level access it provides to decision-makers, but also because it values and includes individuals, organisations and bodies who seek to frame the debate for the future of the UK screen sectors.

We curate an invitation-only membership of around 80 senior executives from screen sector businesses and organisations operating in the UK. We aim to cover the whole value chain as well as the full range of means of distribution, so include members who can speak for writers, technicians, independent producers, directors, distributors, exhibitors, broadcasters, games publishers, games developers, pay TV platforms and online platforms. Members are drawn from organisations of varying scale – from the largest global companies to small independents – who all have an interest in the future of the UK screen sectors. We also run an Associate Member scheme for companies providing services to the media companies from which our membership is drawn. It’s a unique cross-sectoral mix, with a balance of creative, policy and business specialists.
