The final programme of the ERC-funded STUDIOTEC conference Film Studios: Histories, Evolution, Innovation, Futures is now available.

Registration is free and open to all until 18^th May. 

Intended to demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of studio studies, the conference explores film studios as a global phenomenon, considering their material as well as economic and socio-cultural dimensions and the links they have established with the various environments within which they operate. The conference also aims to highlight the diverse range of practices and labour types that contribute to the successful operation of a film studio, the key role that studios have played in film and media production and technical innovation, and how studios have shaped the professional and social lives of film and media industry employees.

Keynote speakers: film historian Noa Steimatsky and Brian Jacobson, Professor of Visual Culture at the California Institute of Technology.
