This creative innovation continues in Liverpool to this day with its embracing of the latest in digital media production. Film and TV production in particular is of very significant economic importance to the city and its surrounding region. Liverpool Hope has enjoyed a very strong tradition in Film Theory and Production; this new programme – which will have a convergent use of creative media production at its heart – will build upon this excellence.
