Dear all,

This conference, which was held at the BFI Southbank in November 2012, celebrated 30 years of Film on Four/Film4 and was an outcome of an ongoing 4 year (2010-2014) AHRC funded project at the University of Portsmouth to explore and assess Channel 4's influence on British film culture over this time.
The topics covered by the papers include, amongst others:
Channel 4 and British Filmmaking
Films about Chinese communities in Britain
Heritage Films
S4C/Welsh film
Vertigo Magazine
Films on TV
TV Programmes about Film
New Talent schemes
Channel 4 and the Avant-Garde
Regional Film Culture
We have also published a new guest blog by Kate Iles, revisiting an innovative scheme for new writers/directors established by Channel 4 and Lloyd's Bank in the early 1990s - the Lloyd's Bank Film Challenge. http://www.c4film.co.uk/challenging-times
Best wishes,
Ieuan.
