His project will investigate the experiences of Yorkshire\u2019s film festival programmers, the barriers and challenges they face to entering and maintaining a career in the sector, and the skills and training required to nurture the next generation of programmers.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Fenwick will interview film festival programmers that have worked at the Aesthetica Short Film Festival, the Leeds International Film Festival, and Sheffield DocFest for a documentary that will form the primary output of the project. The project, \u201cYorkshire\u2019s film festival programmers: working conditions, skills, and the relationship to the region\u2019s screen industries\u201d, will aim to inform, impact, and support the growth of the wider screen industries in the Yorkshire region. The role of the programmer, and their importance to the festival circuit and broader screen industries, is often overlooked. But Yorkshire\u2019s biggest festivals are significant contributors to the development and promotion of the region\u2019s screen industries and are vital to Yorkshire\u2019s economy. The festivals are integral to the respective cultural strategies of cities like Sheffield, York, and Leeds, viewed by some political and cultural stakeholders as a crucial means of generating economic growth, tourism, and employment. As such, understanding the role of the key cultural and industrial gatekeeper \u2013 the programmer \u2013 can contribute to strategies of growth and development, as well as lead to greater engagement and partnership between festivals and the broader screen industries. The project will also highlight issues of precarious labour and casual employment that are a feature of programming work in Yorkshire, and which are also concerns across the creative industries.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Fenwick\u2019s previous research has included journal articles on the early history of Sheffield DocFest for the Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/01439685.2021.1922035\">view here<\/a>) and on the early history of Sheffield\u2019s Showroom Cinema for the Screen journal (forthcoming in vol. 63, no. 2 summer 2022).
