A panel of celebrated screenwriters will discuss the challenges of a changing industry, with particular reference to the 2023 Writers’ Guild of America strike (and the associated SAG/AFTRA actors’ strike).
What were the key issues that prompted such a long and arduous action? What kind of a threat does AI pose to creative endeavour and how will the strike’s gains and losses impact an industry that, more often than most, pits commercial interests against creative integrity, on an uneven playing field?
In what promises to be an invigorating and inspiring session, we aim to raise public awareness of issues that do not just affect this one small segment, but that have knock-on effects for audiences and practitioners alike. Come join in on a frank and forthright discussion with panellists who, as emerging and established screenwriters, find themselves on the frontlines of an industry imperilled as never before.
