It’s an era that has seen the medium evolve and adapt – from digital photography, to major advances in visual effects, the rise of the superhero blockbuster, the arrival of streaming services, popcorn movies delivering on an ever-grander scale, new avenues and outlets for independent filmmakers, the democratisation of film with the arrival of even more accessible equipment, and a raft of bold, visionary, diverse voices.
