UK film council

The UK Film Council is the Government-backed lead agency for film in the UK ensuring that the economic, cultural and educational aspects of film are effectively represented at home and abroad.

It is very important for the British to produce its own films even though there are no language issues for British audience with Hollywood films. When British films make its own films it shows their uniqueness, individuality and creates there own identity.

The UK film council fund script development, film production, shot films, film distribution and export, film education, festivals, skills development, national and regional film agencies. In my opinion UK film council should fund for all kind of films. As UK is a country where we can find people from different ethnicity, religion and culture who have different tastes, it will be a great benefit if we fund for all types of films as it will cover a large audience. I think that the genres like action, romance, horror and comedy should be given highly importance.

The five types of films which my organisation will fund are Action, Romance, Horror, Comedy, dramas. Some of the examples of action films are Spiderman, dark night etc. These genres will help our organisation to gain more profit.

The other film related activities the UK film council support could be providing more independent cinemas, funding for more film festivals, fund for drama/film clubs which will help the children to get to know and experience more about the film industry.

  1. Good point about British films being unique and individual. Do you think there should be a balance of high budget action films (to generate profit) and British 'issue' based drama that reflect our society then? I like your idea of the Film Council funding dram/film clubs (perhaps you should suggest this to them!).

    Well done Geomi. (Mr.Dunk)
