British Film Institute apologises to filmmaker over racial discrimination complaint

A new report reveals that the BFI, the UK’s most influential movie funding body, had “badly handled” the long-running discrimination complaint made by filmmaker Faisal Qureshi.

British Film Institute CEO Ben Roberts has issued an apology to a prominent filmmaker of colour, after an independent investigation – which coincides with the BFI London Film Festival - concluded that the BFI “badly” mishandled his racial discrimination complaint.
