The Yorkshire Post says: Region ready to research future of film industry
As such, it is heartening to hear that a new partnership led by the University of York, Screen Yorkshire and the British Film Institute has been selected for research and development funding to establish the region as a leader in the art of digital storytelling.
With on-demand services such as Netflix, YouTube and BBC iPlayer rapidly changing the way programmes are watched, the new project will offer the region to be at the cutting-edge of technological innovation and provides further evidence of Yorkshire’s position as a leading centre for the screen industries.
