Olsberg SPI will present the emerging findings of our diversity research for AFTRS at a symposium in Sydney on the 1st of September. This research considers global best practice in addressing diversity, and will be published later in 2016.

First Light administers a talent development scheme for young BME audiences, entitled “Second Light”. The scheme is aimed at supporting and providing training opportunities to 30 young people from BME backgrounds, to enable them to pursue successful careers in the film industry. SPI was commissioned in late 2009 to conduct an evaluation of the scheme.
