WFT Ireland was proud to host the launch of the report by Dr. Susan Liddy and Dr. Fergal Rhatigan, Behind the Scenes: Exploring Harmful Behaviours in the Irish Screen Industries, addressing vital issues in our industry. The event, which took place at the Light House Cinema, saw an inspiring turnout, with industry professionals, sponsors, collaborators, and members joining us for an engaging discussion.
The panellists were Jessica Drum (Chief Executive, Screen Guilds Ireland), Colman Farrell (Head of Skills and Professional Development, Screen Ireland), Ananta Kaur (Head of ER/IR and Industry Partnerships, Screen Producers Ireland) and Niamh O’Donnell (Director, Irish Theatre Institute and Safe to Create).
Moderated by Aoife Barry, arts journalist and author, the panel provided thought-provoking insights into the findings of the report and initiated conversations on how to address harmful behaviours within the screen industry. The discussions focused on the need for systemic change and how collaboration across organisations can drive meaningful improvements in workplace culture.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to these critical conversations. Together, we can create a safer and more inclusive industry for all.
