The Baftas.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts was born in August 1946 when Alexander Korda formed a club with a membership limited to the most eminent names in the British film world. Out of that group emerged the British Film Academy, which eleven years later merged with the Guild of Television Producers and Directors to form the Society of Film and Television Arts. The article by George Clarke first appeared in the British Academy's 1997 Awards Programme and celebrates the first half a century of the Academy's existence. The BAFTA Mask is based on a design by renowned American sculptor Mitzi Cunliffe. [from the Official Bafta.org site.]
