Film Bang community of practice

People Involved

Project Description

This project will investigate how the Scottish screen sector first coalesced, and then operated, as a‘community of practice’. It will develop new knowledge about interconnections between Scottish professional film makers, informing historical understanding of talent development in previously under-explored areas such as camera, sound and editing. Drawing on information in the Film Bang directories,the project will variously track and/or uncover historical patterns and networks of working relationships between Scottish filmmakers in a variety of creative and technical disciplines. The project will identify and assess these individuals’ and networks’ contributions to the growth and success of the Scottish industry.
