That couple crossing the street in tight embrace. Those boys and girls dressed to dance. Background cast add depth to almost any scene. But if these anonymous actors hardly get any face recognition, their remuneration is often meagre too, even when their presence on set can be consequential in terms of make-up, costumes, and management. In the framework of our "Labours of Cinema" theme, this session aims to turn the spotlight onto the many uncredited workers on set. With expertise from one of Europe's biggest agencies for supporting artists and the pragmatic experience of Assistant Directors who worked on Babylon Berlin or The Grand Budapest Hotel, we learn about the inner workings and established hierarchies on location and what these mean for those extras who enhance the mood of the story or the drama of a scene.
