The BFI have honoured producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli with BFI Fellowships, the highest award bestowed by the BFI and one of the British film industry’s most prestigious accolades.
“We are so proud to be awarded the BFI Fellowship on behalf of all of those who have been a part of the James Bond series over 60 years and feel honoured to join such an esteemed group of distinguished industry fellows” said Wilson and Broccoli. “We are very grateful to so many members of the British film industry who we have worked with over the course of our careers and thank the British Film Institute for their tremendous support and leadership of the creative industries in the UK.”
The 007 Producers receive their Fellowships in recognition of their contribution to cinema and will join a list of BFI Fellows including Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker, Tilda Swinton, Sir David Lean, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, Nicholas Roeg CBE, Orson Welles, Sir Ridley Scott, Dame Judi Dench, and Sir Steve McQueen.
The BFI also marked 60 years of 007 films with a special James Bond weekend of screenings and events in London at the BFI Southbank and BFI IMAX in October 2022.
