The Banff World Media Festival (BANFF) has unveiled its 2021 Master Classes, including sessions with the talent and creatives behind CTV’s Transplant (Sphère Média) and CBC’s Sort Of (Sienna Films).

The festival, which runs June 14 to July 16, will host six Master Classes in total, including British series It’s a Sin (Red Production Company; pictured), created by Russell T. Davies, U.S. drama David Makes Man (Page Fright, Outlier Society Productions) created by Tarell Alvin McCraney, and Finnish/British animated series Moominvalley (Gutsy Animations), created by Marika Makaroff. BANFF previously announced FX comedy Reservation Dogs (FX Productions) as one of its Master Class series.

BANFF will also offer exclusive screenings of Global’s upcoming drama Family Law (SEVEN24 Film, Lark Productions), created by Susin Nielson and starring Jewel Staite and Victor Garber, and STARZ’s Blindspotting (Snoot Entertainment, Barnyard Projects), co-created and executive produced by Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs (Snowpiercer).

“This year’s Master Classes and screenings represent some of the world’s most original, impactful and exciting series,” said Jenn Kuzmyk, executive director of BANFF in a statement. “It is a privilege to host such accomplished talent and executives as they take us through the business and creative story behind the making of each project.”

BANFF’s Sort Of Master Class will feature a discussion with co-creators and executive producers Bilal Baig and Fab Filippo and Sienna Films’ Jennifer Kawaja.
