Events

This February, the Yorkshire Games Festival at the National Science and Media Museum will be back for another unique festival of all things gaming, celebrating games culture, design and production with special industry guests.

BAFTA will be holding a special panel as a supporting activity.

Following the Yorkshire Games Heritage panel, join our BAFTA evening social welcoming members and non-members alike. Network with our panelists, make new contacts and catch up with industry friends, over a few drinks and a warm, relaxed atmosphere.

Join this masterclass panel with Jon Ingold and Corey Brotherson, as they breakdown scenes in their games with host Shay Thompson and share insights on the narratives they’ve worked on from Heaven’s Vault to Windrush Tales.

Audiences will learn how the writers have explored telling stories which break the mould in terms of representation with their settings and/or characters – and how they ensured authenticity when doing so.

Together, they will discuss what other works inspired them, the research they understood or relied on, and who they collaborated with.

An online showcase of three Film script extracts by emerging UK writing talent, performed by a cast, and with feedback from industry guests, including Andrew Orr (Head of Originals, Sky Cinema), Rose Garnett (A24 Films, Former Director of BBC Film) and Nathaniel Martello-White (Writer-Director and Actor).
