In commemoration of its 30^th anniversary, Industry and Innovation renewed the tradition of awarding a ‘Best Paper Prize.’ This prize aims to honour the best article published in the journal each year, starting from 2021. In this revived initiative, the Editorial Board evaluates all papers published in the reference year and identifies the most relevant and original articles. Within this shortlist, the members of the Editorial Advisory Board cast their vote on the best paper of the year. Looking back at the work published in an issue during 2021, the article ‘Peripheral Visions: The Film and Television Industry in Galway, Ireland,’ by Dominic Power and Patrick Collins, was distinguished for being conceptually novel and methodological bold while inviting us to reconsider the value of peripheries in innovation studies. In this Interview Article, the authors provide insights into their research journey and enrich our understanding of their work’s context and significance.
