Screen unveils the 2021 Stars of Tomorrow

Screen International has unveiledits Stars of Tomorrow 2021, its annual, eagerly anticipated talent showcase of the most exciting new actors, writers, directors, producers, and heads of department emerging across the UK and Ireland.

For the second year, Amazon Prime Video returns as the headline sponsor for UK & Ireland Stars of Tomorrow, alongside long-time, returning partners ScreenSkills and the BFI London Film Festival.

Since it was launched in 2004, Screen International’s Stars of Tomorrow showcase has demonstrated an unparalleled track record for spotting talented new actors and filmmakers at the early stages of their careers.

This year’s Stars follow in the footsteps of some of today’s biggest names in film and television, from Emily Blunt and Benedict Cumberbatch – both selected for the first Stars showcase in 2004 – to Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Taron Egerton in 2014, and Florence Pugh and Jodie Comer in 2016.

All of the 2021 Stars of Tomorrow will take part in an online event tomorrow, October 5 at 17:00 BST, with live conversations hosted by Screen’s editor Matt Mueller alongside Fionnuala Halligan, curator of Stars of Tomorrow.
