About us

ABOUT BAFTA'S Charity Mission The Academy's charitable mission is to support, develop and promote all the art forms of the moving image (Film, Television and Video Games), by identifying and rewarding excellence, inspiring practitioners and showcasing the very best to the public. The Academy's 6000 membership comprises experts in film, television and video games - directors, producers, actors, developers, publishers, cameramen, writers, make-up artists, editors, sound engineers etc - indeed anyone who plays a vital role in the creation of a film, television programme or video game. To become a member, each applicant has to have made a significant professional contribution to the industry and that then makes them uniquely qualified to vote.
