Official statement on the death of Simon Albury (1944-2024)

The British Urban Film Festival is sad to learn the news of Simon Albury’s passing. Simon was a much respected figure in broadcasting and latterly through his diversity campaigning, which is how he came to know BUFF founder Emmanuel Anyiam-Osigwe over the years. For those who bang the drum for diversity, inclusion and representation – we have lost a soldier though the good fight will continue and BUFF will do everything in our power to ensure that Simon’s unerring consistency to speak truth to power is a quality we should all aspire to as a fitting legacy to the beacon that was Simon Albury. Our thoughts are with all those who held him in high regard and also with his loved ones and family.

Godspeed 💙
