In the same week BAFTA 2024 honoured the world’s best cinematic talent, including student filmmakers from the Beaconsfield-based National Film and Television School (NFTS), IOSH presented one of the NFTS’s own annual awards at a glitzy ceremony in London’s Leicester Square, supported by BBC Studios.
Tyrone Partridge CMIOSH, Chair of the IOSH Thames Valley Branch, stepped up to present the IOSH Award of £1,000 for Health and Safety Management in Film Production to Producing MA graduate Ella Richie and Olivia Song, graduate of the Production Management diploma, for their work on fiction film, Tapeworm.
Only the previous weekend, NFTS student-made films had claimed double BAFTA success at London’s Festival Hall with animation Crab Day and fiction short Jellyfish and Lobster. Also, several NFTS alumni had received BAFTAs for their work on Poor Things, Earth Mama and Zone of Interest, with many others making key contributions to films such as Oppenheimer, which secured seven BAFTA wins, including Best Film.
Tyrone was in starry company as the NFTS award winners included long-term collaborators Production Designer Sarah Greenwood and Set Director Katie Spencer, who collected the prestigious annual Honorary Fellowship. Also Oscar and BAFTA nominated this year for their work on the ‘Barbie’ movie, they have worked with NFTS students over a number of years to help nurture their talent.
Lord David Puttnam, also no stranger to BAFTA, the Oscars and other prestigious film awards and producer of box office hits including Chariots of Fire and Midnight Express, addressed the audience as NFTS Life President.
