Roundtable discussion: policy, data and the UK's hidden screen industries

On 8th July 2024, industry leaders Steve Davies and Steve Garvey met at the British Film Institute (BFI) to discuss research and policy issues with the PI and Co-I of the AHRC Hidden Screen Industries network (Emily Caston and Patrick Russell), along with Ian Cade of the BFI’s Research and Statistics Unit. Topics covered included tax reliefs, screen skills, diversity and inclusion, the lack of research on advertising screen production and branded film, and priorities for future research. A selection of excerpts of the key points arising in the discussion are presented in this final contribution to the Special Dossier on Hidden Screen Industries.
