Small actions. Real change.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, the @filmtvcharity is asking the screen industry to speak up - honestly.
The Film and TV Charity’s 2026 Looking Glass Survey is now live and it’s the UK’s only long‑running study tracking mental health across film, TV, and cinema.
So, if you’ve ever felt under pressure, unsupported, exhausted - or even if things are going well - your experience matters.

Your voice helps build the evidence that drives real change.

We are delighted to honour the late actress Dame Maggie Smith CH DBE by announcing The Maggie Smith Stage on the lot at Shepperton Studios. From her early work at Shepperton on ‘The Pumpkin Eater’ (1964) and ‘Othello’ (1965) to iconic performances filmed at Pinewood and Shepperton - including ‘Death on the Nile’ (1978), ‘Gosford Park’ (2001), ‘Clash of the Titans’ (1981) and her Oscar-winning role in ‘The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie’ (1969) - her extraordinary legacy is woven into our history.
A true icon of British cinema, her influence continues to inspire generations of storytellers. 🎬 Here’s a look back at some of her unforgettable roles.

Friends and collaborators gathered last week to celebrate a true master of cinematic storytelling who blends imagination, humanity, and horror with such mastery. Pictured here with the Board of the BFI.
