Bradford-China film industry link is a big deal

University of Bradford begins teaching animation in China as guest professor, Davild Wilson, is appointed to Researcher of the Global Film Industry Research Centre, Beijing Film Academy in Qingdao.

David, who teaches on the University’s Masters filmmaking programme, says the deal - and his new appointment, which he was “honoured” to receive - bode well for both the University and the city.

He said: “Having a relationship with them is a win-win. Bradford was the world’s first UNESCO City of Film and for good reason. We have a wonderful film heritage and a reservoir of expertise, not just in making films but in production, editing, promotion and so on. If you look beyond the teaching, there are business opportunities here. Part of my role is to encourage companies and business start-ups in things like post-production, legal, sales and so on: we can do all that in Bradford.”
