| Description | This workshop aimed to bring together scholars of film and television, practising screenwriters, and other media professionals to discuss changing practices, institutional frameworks, and the social status of screenwriting in contemporary screen media. The workshop is both salient and timely, given that turbulent changes are currently reshaping media industries, and given a surge in academic interest in production practices encapsulated by the recent founding of the Journal of Screenwriting, the "Screenwriting Research Network", and a conference series. This saliency and timeliness is underscored by an increase in self-reflexive practice among media professionals as a burgeoning circuit of industry conferences, master classes and festival pitch forums offer various support schemes intended to encourage screenwriters to think more strategically about developing and presenting their projects. |
