Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International After 18 years at BAFTA, Krishnendu Majumdar is having trouble switching off. It’s been almost two months since the media executive, who recently won a BAFTA for his Kate Winslet-led Channel 4 drama “I Am Ruth,” finished his three-year term as chair of the British Academy, handing over the reins to agency boss Sara Putt.
But it took a minute, he says, to stop going on high alert every time he clocked a buzzy topic that BAFTA might be asked to comment on. “You see something online and you think, ‘Oh I wonder how we should respond?’” says Majumdar, known to most in the industry as simply ‘Krish.’ “And then it’s like, ‘No, no.
I don’t do that’ … I’m just a member. I’m not on any committees.
I’m not a trustee. I don’t speak on their behalf anymore.” Majumdar was appointed as chair of BAFTA in June 2020, and his tenure coincided with tectonic shifts for the industry as well as the British Academy itself.
It also became personal, with Majumdar becoming the subject of a defamatory article related to the scandal around actor Noel Clarke, who was accused in 2021 of sexual harassment and bullying by numerous women as part of an investigation by The Guardian, shortly after he was awarded a special BAFTA award. The BAFTA veteran is the first to admit to an eventful experience, particularly for a role that’s voluntary and separate to the paid staff led by CEO Jane Millichip — but in many ways, he says, it “goes with the territory.” Majumdar’s introduction to BAFTA was through a 2005 nomination for best new factual director for the Channel 4 program “Who You Calling a N—?” He soon found himself producing various events for the org, and was eventually asked to join the learning events

Courtney Howard The growing pains and dramatic throes of girlhood can be character building, traumatic, and cathartic — for both cinematic protagonists and their audience. It’s certainly not an easy time for the heroine at the center of “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah,” whose impending rite-of-passage ushers in an adulthood she’s not quite ready to handle. Director Sammi Cohen and screenwriter Alison Peck bestow this hilarious, heartrending adaptation of Fiona Rosenbloom’s novel with an uplifting, effervescent vision and vitality, giving voice to a young Jewish girl’s struggle to figure out who she is before the most important night of her life so far.
