The Film Industry in a Digital Age with Lord Puttnam

Lord Puttnam is a game-changing thinker, who is not only a film producer with iconic credits to his name including Bugsy Malone and Chariots Of Fire, but he passionately supports young people as founder of Skillset and as an international educator.

I went along to a talk he was giving on 'The Film Industry in a Digital Age' at the International Students House (ISH) in London, and was inspired by his futurist thinking about what the the film industry has to do to survive and thrive in the ever changing digital topography of fast-consumerism, his passion for the BBC and his views on experiential cinema.

Off the back of my last post about Culture Magazine’s simple ad, it sparked a conversation between myself and my boyfriend about adverts we grew up with.

We enjoyed very similar recollections, both being British and our similar ages helping frame our collective memory being children of the 80s, but the one theme that unified our favourites, was the age-old classic of the animal star turn.
