BAFTA confirms new and returning chairs and deputy chairs of its Film, Games and Television committees

BAFTA’s three sector committees – comprised of BAFTA members who volunteer their time – play a central role in the oversight and steering of BAFTA’s high-profile Film, Games and Television Awards, and support BAFTA to deliver its strategic charitable mission through invaluable industry insight and expertise. The chairs of all three committees also sit on BAFTA’s Board of Trustees.

BAFTA’s guiding principles for its awards are to celebrate creative excellence, level the playing field, provide a fair and robust process, and encourage positive industry change. The eligibility, campaigning rules, and voting criteria for the Film, Games, Television, and Television Craft Awards are individually reviewed and set by the sector committees annually.

• Emily Stillman, senior vice president at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, has been elected chair of BAFTA’s Film Committee, having held the position of deputy chair for two years. Emily will serve alongside Anthony Andrews, co-founder and creative director of We Are Parable, who has been elected deputy chair.
• Hilary Rosen, director of commissioning at UKTV, has been re-elected chair of BAFTA’s Television Committee. Christine Healy, director of production at Playground, has been re-elected as deputy chair.
• Tara Saunders, studio head of Larian Studios, continues as chair of the Games Committee, alongside deputy chair Des Gayle, founder of Altered Gene.

As previously announced, Hilary Rosen was recently appointed by the Board of Trustees as deputy chair of BAFTA.

Sara Putt, chair of BAFTA, said: “We are so grateful to our Sector Committee members, who are comprised of people from across the screen industries who generously volunteer their time and expertise. We are delighted to see Emily Stillman elected as our Film Committee chair, Hilary Rosen re-elected as chair of the Television Committee, Anthony Andrews elected as deputy chair for Film, and Christine Healy re-elected deputy chair for Television. Together with Tara Saunders, who chairs BAFTA’s Games Committee and Des Gayle, who is deputy chair for Games, our Committees play a central role in ensuring BAFTA’s activities, including our world-leading awards, support and spotlight the screen industries and the talented people within them.”
