A series of interviews with experts from the worlds of film and television will be available online as part of Bradford UNESCO City of Film’s new Screen Talk event.
The interviews were conducted last year, during the 10th anniversary of Bradford becoming the world’s first UNESCO City of Film and were all filmed by students at the University of Bradford.
They will include discussions with location managers who worked on shows such as Peaky Blinders, Gentleman Jack and Downton Abbey; and the writer and creator of global TV hit Vikings, Michael Hirst. There’s also a look at film finance, with Anne Sheehan, who supported films The King’s Speech and Official Secrets.
Bradford actor, Enzo Cilenti also talks about his roles in Game of Thrones, Guardians of the Galaxy and Luther.
“I am delighted that we are able to use the footage shot throughout last year to bring the experiences of experts to a whole new audience at a time when so many schools, colleges and universities are working online only,” said David Wilson, Director of Bradford UNESCO City of Film and the host of Screen Talk.
“I think there is a lot of information in these discussions which will prove valuable for anyone who might want a future career in the film or TV industries or may just have a general interest in how films and TV productions are made.”
A new edition of Screen Talk will be available to watch on the Bradford UNESCO City of Film website each week starting with Location Managers on Friday 17th April 2020 at 11am.
