The Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies is holding a conference on the implication of the Communications Act 2003 for culture and communications in Wales on 29th and 30th March 2004 at the Department of Theatre Film and Television Studies at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth.The communications industries in Wales have historically played a crucial role in the formation of national politics, culture and the development of a bi-lingual society unique in extent in the United Kingdom. The organisers of the conference invite suggestions for panels or individual papers on the Communications Act and its implications for the production, distribution and uses of communications in Wales. We welcome contributions on television, film, digital TV, radio, film and independent production, language and culture, ownership and control, working conditions, and culture. Whilst the focus will be on Wales, papers on the nature of the Act and its implications for communications more generally will be welcome.
