Film and the Creative Arts in the age of open research

In this presentation at the University of Warwick, Dr Kamran Qureshi explores the dynamic intersection between open research and the creative arts, drawing on his background as a film and television director and academic, he reflected on the intersections of practice-based research, data transparency, and scholarly communication in creative disciplines.

The presentation explored how structured, openly accessible data can support interdisciplinary publishing, enhance transparency, and expand the impact of arts-based research. Dr Qureshi discussed both the advantages and complexities of data sharing in the humanities and creative disciplines, including issues of ethics, reproducibility, and accessibility.

Through this case study-driven talk, Dr Qureshi demonstrated how integrating open research practices into the creative arts not only fosters collaboration and public engagement but also strengthens the long-term value and visibility of practice-based research.
