A collection of stellar British film industry names, including Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Naomie Harris, have joined calls to ensure that funds will be available to back a newly established independent organisation designed to combat harassment across the creative industries.

They are among the signatories of an open letter calling on companies to commit to provide financial contributions to the Creative Industry Independent Standards Authority (CIISA), which is due to begin operations in 2025. There are 25 signatories in all, including Saltburn director Emerald Fennell, Cara Delevingne, Rebecca Ferguson, Ruth Wilson and Harvey Weinstein’s former assistant Zelda Perkins.
