Pippa Harris and James Wilson are set to headline spotlight conversations at the BFI London Film Festival’s Industry Forum in October. Harris, a producer known for films including Hamnet and 1917, is currently working on The Beatles – A Four Film Cinematic Event. Wilson, recognized for producing The Zone of Interest, will also take part in the programme.
The festival’s industry event is part of the 70th London Film Festival edition and is designed to give audiences an industry-focused look at how films are developed and produced. Outlets describe the sessions as covering the challenges of working in a rapidly changing sector, alongside discussion of the producers’ upcoming projects.
While the outlets differ slightly in emphasis, Deadline focuses on Harris’s role as a co-founder of Neal Street Productions and the scale of the Beatles biopic slate, while Variety and The Hollywood Reporter frame the forum more broadly as a discussion of development and production issues for current and future releases. All reports agree that both producers will feature individually in the forum programme.
