This special dossier contains articles arising from conversations and 
exchanges that took place between 2021 and 2023 in the Hidden Screen 
Industries Network, funded by a grant from the Arts and Humanities 
Research Council. The network premise was that the UK doesn't have a 
screen industry: it has many screen industries. Beyond the familiar 
worlds of feature film and broadcast television sit many more sectors - 
the sectors that produce music video, screen advertising, fashion film, 
branded content, industrial film, corporate video, adult film, medical 
and education film to name but a few. These sectors are as creative 
artistically and as productive economically as those that produce more 
mainstream media. Yet, compared to those, they are hidden screen 
industries. For this special dossier, network participants have authored 
or contributed to articles focused on their specialist ‘hidden’ sectors 
of UK screen history.
