This is an in-person event. It will not be live streamed. Culture is valuable for human flourishing, while a career in media and the arts is considered prestigious and rewarding. As a ‘cultural industry’, the screen sector (including film, television, and digital games) receives significant public funding in the name of creating meaningful works, inward economic investment and quality employment. But how good is this employment in reality? How easy is it to access? How do we ensure that work in the screen industries is ‘good work’, doing justice to culture itself and the people who produce it?The School of Creative Arts (Film Department) presents a symposium on screen work, with a particular emphasis on the Irish situation. The half-day public event will feature academic presentations and an industry panel, exploring the concept of ‘Creative Justice’ (Banks 2017) and how this can be achieved in the screen industry in Ireland.Schedule:9:15 AM | Panel 1Mark Banks (University of Glasgow) | Creative Justice in Society and ScreenMaria O’Brien (Queens University Belfast) | Identifying the values in the Irish digital games sector: what we learn from the proposed digital games tax creditDenis Murphy (Trinity College Dublin) | Good work?
