“I would say the opportunities are nothing less than to step up and to try to explain to our public in this country and elsewhere, some of the really complex shit that’s coming down the pipe towards citizens. We’ve got a climate crisis coming at us. Also we have an information crisis coming at us and we need film makers to interpret this, to bring life to this, bring voice to this, bring story to this and bring the public behind it.” Jess Search Chief Executive Doc Society
“The question for me now is how do I keep serving an audience who are intelligent, who are informed, but who really want to know more….If you look at Extinction: The Facts or if you look at my recent documentary with Paul Merson about the gambling industry, the ripple effects of that film have been really quite phenomenal. It’s been raised in Parliament.” Jack Bootle Head of Science and Natural History, BBC
“I think if you look at Marian Mohamed’s film about Digga D, that’s finding a story which really appeals to the young audience. It didn’t get a massive audience, but it got a really specific audience who the BBC do not [always] serve. And they came to iPlayer for that film, which is really important.” Claire Sillery Head of Documentary Commissioning, Content, BBC
IN PRODUCTION
“They have to be really distinctive, they have to be a great story, they have to promise revelations, they have to be uniquely provocative or challenging or saying something really different about the world… It isn’t only about filmmakers, we care about developing talent all across the roles behind the camera and of course in front of the camera. We really care about new talent and developing talent.” Shaminder Nahal Commissioning Editor, Arts and Topical, Channel 4
“The zeitgeist is moving towards being at home, feeling good about yourself… I think the idea of being able to coalesce around things that make you feel good are incredibly important.” Simon Downing SVP, Head of Factual & Sport, Discovery UK & Ireland
“Channel 4 does things other broadcasters wouldn’t do. I’m very proud of Joe Lycet Versus The Oil Giant which was spectacularly profane and very rude about Shell in particular and the man who runs it. And I don’t think it’s something the BBC would’ve done.” Alf Lawrie Head of Factual Entertainment, Channel 4
“[True crime:] The important thing is covering those stories sensitively but in a way that makes people more conscious of the challenges that we face collectively and how we look forward and try and tackle and prevent these things in future.” Dan Korn VP Programming, A+E Networks UK
