Lord Puttnam talk on film industry and Netflix dubbing
1. 10Networking Experience (complete one for each event and upload to your blog in the suitable
post)
May the Force be With You, Monday 10th
October 2022, Sunderland University Murray Library
This experience was with Lord David Puttnam.
David Puttnam is/was a British film producer, as well as an environmentalist and a former
member of the House of Lords. Puttnams productions include Chariots of Fire, The Mission and he
was an executive producer on Bugsy Malone
During this talk with Lord Puttnam I learnt many things about the film industry. One of these
things was the fact that the dubbing industry of film is getting larger and larger, with Netflix
having partnerships with over 100 dubbing studios for their films and tv shows. These dubbing
studios allow Netflix to translate their films into over 30 languages for their viewers.
Something else that I learnt is that though film is a big industry, the gaming sector of it is also
getting larger, with shows such as The Mandalorian proving this. The Mandalorian used gaming
equipment to produce the episodes, mostly using them to simulate an environment.
I would say that I have learnt quite a lot from this trip, and I would say that it has helped with
current projects, as I can use this knowledge later on.
