In late October of last year BAFTA announced their 2016 Breakthrough Brits cohort. It is the fourth such contingent spotlighted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, providing invaluable support and a host of possibilities for those on the programme.
We spoke exclusively to the ‘Class of ’16’ shortly after the announcement was made, and the sense of potential the programme offered was tangibly felt. Part of the great work done by BAFTA is in the guidance offered to the new generation of creative artists. It is an essential part of their work, as much as it is an essential part of our cultural identity.
Today we are continuing our ongoing coverage of the BAFTA Breakthrough Brits programme by finding out exactly what made the initiative so important to emerging talent.

Hunter has worked at BAFTA for nearly nine years, and before that he worked in the Education team at the BFI. The drive to democratise access to getting into the arts is a common theme in his work, and crucial to the success of the Breakthrough Brits initiative. In his nine years Hunter has been with them BAFTA has become much more outward facing, and they have focused on the charitable aim of championing creative excellence. This, as Hunter tells me, is a crucial part of what BAFTA is all about.
