About

Recent years have seen academics and practitioners grapple with the ethical dimensions of film, television and screen studies and of screen media production, distribution and consumption. This includes efforts to address the various forms of environmental and personal harm caused by screen media industries, both now and in the past, and to imagine new ways of doing things. It also includes ongoing debates about the future of film, television and screen theories, histories and practices, their sustainability in the current higher education landscape (in the UK and globally) and their ethical obligations to be more inclusive, socially responsible and politically engaged.  

BAFTSS 2023 will offer a space to explore these issues across a range of panels, roundtables and screenings.
