The British Film Institute (BFI) has partnered with University College London to launch a £1 million research project into the links between racism, racial inequality, diversity and policy in the UK film industry.

Called The Colour Of Diversity, it will explore the experiences of people of colour at every level of the sector, from actors to technicians and black and minority ethnic (Bame) audiences.
