Films and Independence

Published: 25 February 2014

BBC Radio show reprises debate on the impact of independence on the film industry in association with the School of Culture and Creative Arts.

A recent BBC Radio Scotland debate reprised a successful initiative involving the University last year. 

Last September, more than a hundred people attended a packed event at Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts to discuss the potential impact of independence on the film industry. The event, organised by Glasgow Short Film Festival in association with the University’s School of Culture and Creative Arts, heard from a stellar cast of industry participants and academics.

The discussion continued on Monday 17 February on BBC Radio Scotland’s Culture Studio featuring scriptwriter, Sergio Casci, Dr David Archibald, and event panelist Belle Doyle.
