WFT Ireland’s recent webinar, Behind the Scenes: Exploring Harmful Behaviours in the Irish Screen Industries, is now available as a podcast.
This important discussion, which took place online in December 2024, was centred on the findings of the report by Dr. Susan Liddy and Dr. Fergal Rhatigan, commissioned by Women in Film and Television Ireland and funded by the Screen Ireland Stakeholders Funding Scheme. The research sheds light on the experiences of industry professionals, highlighting the challenges faced and the urgent need for change.
The podcast features insights from:
- Dr. Susan Liddy & Dr. Fergal Rhatigan (Researchers)
- Producer Fiona Kinsella, Director Hannah Quinn & Actor/Writer Jade Jordan (WFT Ireland Board Members)
- Filmmaker Maríssa Aroy, webinar moderator (WFT Ireland Member)
This podcast offers an in-depth exploration of ‘harmful behaviours’ in the film and television industry, and sparks a critical conversation about how we can foster safer, more inclusive workplaces in this sector.
WFT Ireland would like to invite our members to continue this important dialogue as we work together to create a more respectful and equitable Irish screen industry.
