The British government are in discussions with the U.K. Film Council and the British Film Institute about a possible merger. The project board, which comprises of representatives from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport as well as reps from the BFI and UKFC, will be looking at a new business model for the British Film Industry.
Sion Simon, the film minister spoke to The Guardian about the proposal:
“Supporting film to help the U.K. industry reach its international potential as an art form as well as a business remains a priority for government. That’s why we want to look at how best to direct our support. A new, streamlined single body that represents the whole of the film sector will offer a better service both for filmmakers and film lovers.”
