“I’m delighted that we are recognizing Kathleen Kennedy’s impressive career with a BAFTA Fellowship. Her contribution to filmmaking has been exceptional," said Amanda Berry, BAFTA Chief Executive of BAFTA. "She is a trailblazer who has opened the door for many people to join the industry, and the number of iconic cinematic moments she has helped bring to the big screen has enriched the industry and enthralled the cinema–loving public.
Added BAFTA's film committee chair Marc Samuelson: “Through all her productions in the U.K., Kathleen Kennedy has led the industry in her commitment to encouraging training, inclusion and diversity at all levels of crew and cast. She has happily shouldered the responsibility which falls to these major productions and her personal impact on improving the range of superb, available, behind-the-camera talent is second to none.
Cheers from Red Deer 🤗❤️💙💛💚💗♥️
