I can absolutely confirm this and it seems there are more unhappy former & current @Bfi staff than we could ever imagine. The fact that referred to as ‘Ben’s regime’, is v. telling and goes a long way to explain the treatment of both @f_a_q and #AfricanOdyssey. 🤷🏽♂️
The more information I receive about the @bfi’s treatment of #AFRICANODYSSEY The more parallels I see to its treatment of Faisal Qureshi. So It feels less like an org proud to ‘stand by their record on supporting Black & GM filmmakers’ & more like one outraged at being challenged on it 🤷🏽♂️.
Honored to be invited to the #AfricanOdyssey meeting today. Good to see Black & Asian orgs represented. Finding out how just how badly @bfi have treated this 17 year old Black institution was shocking even for me. Kinda makes a mockery of yesterdays @bfi parliament declarations😳
