Ben Roberts
Ben Roberts stepped up from his role heading the BFI Film Fund to become the organisation’s CEO in mid-February 2020. Within a month, the UK was in lockdown, and Roberts found himself managing 550 employees remotely, guiding many through furlough.
In addition to its usual wide-ranging work and funding, the BFI also worked to advise the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) to create its Production Restart Scheme and for cinemas to access funding from the Culture Recovery Fund. The BFI also pulled together increased funding for productions, exhibitors and sales companies hit by the pandemic.
