Episode notes
The team delves into the future of Creative Europe and the history of Screen’s jury grid. Host Wendy Mitchell is joined by Screen’s head of digital, Orlando Parffit, and Europe editor Tim Dams to discuss the end of Creative Europe’s Media programme and why over 4,500 filmmakers, actors and industry folk have signed an open letter calling for more support for cinema from the EU. The trio also delves into the history of Screen’s iconic jury grid, from record-breaking scores to the reason behind the four-star system.
