Volume 6 • Issue 3 • 2024 • AHRC Hidden Industries

This special dossier contains articles arising from conversations and exchanges that took place between 2021 and 2023 in the Hidden Screen Industries Network, funded by a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The network premise was that the UK doesn't have a screen industry: it has many screen industries. Beyond the familiar worlds of feature film and broadcast television sit many more sectors - the sectors that produce music video, screen advertising, fashion film, branded content, industrial film, corporate video, adult film, medical and education film to name but a few. These sectors are as creative artistically and as productive economically as those that produce more mainstream media. Yet, compared to those, they are hidden screen industries. For this special dossier, network participants have authored or contributed to articles focused on their specialist ‘hidden’ sectors of UK screen history.
