About the Summit & Hotel Info
About
From 4-6 March 2015, Bradford will host a three day international film summit.
The summit will stage a series of seminars, events and screenings to discuss film and TV production and education, set against the backdrop of this film-loving city.
Following the prestigious award of the United Nations Education Social and Cultural Organisation’s City of Film status in 2009, Bradford has used the transformational power of film to help drive social and economic change.
Welcoming leading film industry professionals, academics, policy makers and members of the UNESCO Creative Cities, the summit will discuss innovative ways to expand the role of film in society for cultural and economic benefit.
Aims
- To attract increased film and TV production to Yorkshire
- To capitalise on the business opportunities in film related industries and services
- To create collaboration opportunities through international networks
- To further develop education and skills programmes and share best practice
- To inspire communities to enjoy and experience more film
See the PROGRAMME page for details of the events. We are adding to this between now and March 2015
