A Future For British Film
The economic importance of our film industry has long been recognised and the Parliamentary
Information Office of the Parliamentary Yearbook is currently following closely progress in the
business for a major feature in the next edition
In May 2011 Lord Smith of Finsbury was asked by the Minister for Culture, Communications and the
Creative Industries, Ed Vaizey MP, to lead an eight-strong independent Panel of film industry experts
in reviewing the Government’s film policy.
The Panel was asked to identify barriers to growth in the
British film industry.
The Panel received over 300 online submissions of evidence and met with a comprehensive mix of
industry administrators and practitioners from across the UK.
The Review Report “A Future For
British Film - It begins with the audience…” was published in January 2012 and was universally
welcomed by Government, across industry and by the UK Government’s new lead agency for
film, the British Film Institute (BFI).
