  • Evaluating Scotland's London 2012 Cultural Programme
    Evaluating Scotland’s London 2012 Cultural Programme www.uws.ac.uk Evaluating Scotland’s London 2012 Cultural Programme Professor David McGillivray & Professor Gayle McPherson School of Creative & Cultural Industries University of the West of Scotland, Paisley Campus www.uws.ac.uk Acknowledgements This report detailing the outcomes of Scotland’s London 2012 Cultural Programme would not have been possible without the collaboration of our consortium partners and others. We would like to thank Dr Beatriz Garcia, of Liverpool Institute of Cultural Capital (ICC) and her invaluable contribution to the overall project, particularly the media analysis carried out for the case studies. Tamsin Cox, of DHA Communication, also provided expertise in data analysis and in designing the outline monitoring and evaluation framework contained in Chapter 7 of this report and we are in debt to her for the hours spent reconciling datasets. Finally, Rachel Granger of Middlesex University brought her expertise in geo-mapping techniques to explore partnerships formed as an outcome of the funding of Scotland’s London 2012 Cultural Programme. Without the support of the 54 project leads from Scotland’s London’s 2012 Cultural Programme in Scotland, the staff of key strategic agencies, Event Scotland, Festivals Edinburgh, Scottish Government and Creative Scotland completing this evaluation would have been much more difficult.

  • Capital in the Twenty-First Century
    presents Capital in the Twenty-First Century A FILM BY JUSTIN PEMBERTON ​ Based on the best-selling novel by Thomas Piketty **Official Selection: DOC NYC** New Zealand - 103 MIN - COLOR Distributor Contact: Chris Wells, [email protected] Publicity Contact: David Ninh, [email protected] Kino Lorber, Inc., 333 West 39 St. Suite 503, New York, NY 10018, (212) 629-6880 SYNOPSIS Based on the international bestseller by rock-star economist Thomas Piketty (which sold over three million copies worldwide and landed Piketty on Time Magazine’s list of most influential people), this captivating documentary is an eye-opening journey through wealth and power, a film that breaks the popular assumption that the accumulation of capital runs hand in hand with social progress, and shines a new light on today’s growing inequalities. Traveling through time, the film assembles accessible pop-culture references coupled with interviews of some of the world’s most influential experts delivering an insightful and empowering journey through the past and into our future. “I love movies. In Paris I walk and go to movie theatres all the time. At least twice a week, all movies. So when Justin came with his project, I thought this was a wonderful way to reach a broader and different audience, and most importantly to use a different language to talk about Capital in the 21st century. I believe in the language of the social sciences, but I also believe that it is insufficient, and that it needs to be complemented with the language of novels, cartoons, popular culture, art. Now, let me clear that I did not become a filmmaker.

Introduction Delivering thrilling output and enthralling our audiences – two principles which have underpinned another hugely creative year for BBC Scotland, with output ranging from the landmark factual documentary Making Scotland’s Landscape with Ian Stewart to the critically acclaimed drama Single Father with David Tennant. In 1996 BBC Scotland’s Annual Review drew attention to a record-breaking year for investment and it looked forward to the potential that a new broadcast centre at Pacific Quay in Glasgow could bring. It also noted a continuing drive for efficiencies across the BBC. Fifteen years on, digital broadcasting is a reality. Pacific Quay is now established and starting to fulfil that potential. Studio utilisation and network investment are once again at record highs. And the financial backdrop against which we operate remains no less challenging. In 2010/11 the full impact of the BBC’s Network Supply Review began to be felt. Network television productions from Scotland continued to grow, with hours of output increasing by over 150% in only two years.
