  Sarah discussed assembling her successful bid for this project and then present some of the project's current insights and findings. 

  While these countries have attracted their own historical literatures, this project proposes for the first time their comparative analysis from the perspective of film studio tectonics, cultures and practices. This project proposes a dynamic materialist methodology, linking empirical data with comparative, transnational developments which occurred during a major period of change within the four key production sites. It uses historical research and a range of spatial analysis, 3D and VR tools.
