    FILMBASE SESSIONS

    Industry update 2026 and what productions are starting up


    Thurs 5th February 2026

    1.15-1.45pm (UK time) via Zoom


    For our next lunchtime session we’ll be discussing a number of key industry issues that affect crew - and we’ll be going through all the productions we’ve heard are starting up soon.

    We will welcome Helen Johnson of Talking Point to chat about:

    • productions starting up soon;
    • the difficulty of getting Bectu rates at the moment;
    • the significance of the Netflix/ Warner Bros buyout;
    • the latest on Trump’s 100% tariff comments;
    • tax changes for Sole Traders;
    • and more!

    Join us in this half-hour, lunchtime chat as we take a whistle-stop tour of where UK film and TV crew stand in early 2026 and what the months ahead might bring us.

    You can sign up for the session below. 

    The webinar is FREE for Filmbase members and £10 for non-members.
