Each session will draw links between the city and a number of popular TV/film productions, presenting students with an in-depth case study of how and why it was Liverpool and no other destination that was chosen to be thrust into the spotlight for a particular production, the different sides of Liverpool that are portrayed through its digital depiction and the overall effects the TV and film industry ties have had on the wider region.
