Screen Industry Voices is a three-year project exploring the lived experiences of screen industry professionals, and examining how to create positive change to address current industry challenges.
Drawing on the expertise of University of Reading researchers, industry partners and advocacy groups, and the testimony of interviewees working in a range of contexts and at a range of levels, the project’s ‘oral history of now’ is driving the co-creation of bespoke interventions into current industry challenges in talent acquisition and retention, working and management cultures, and regional support for screen creatives at all stages.
The project is part of the Impact Accelerator Account programme at the University of Reading, which is funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council from 2022 to 2025.
