The document discusses two opposing views on the aim of British cinema: 1) It should be a national cinema representing British culture to British audiences, requiring public funding. 2) It should be a profitable business competing internationally by attracting wide audiences. The UK Film Council aims to balance these by funding different types of films, including popular films to entertain broad audiences but also more difficult, culturally important films. However, some argue this excludes certain artistic or controversial films needing subsidy. Overall the Film Council has had success funding films that are both commercial and critical successes.
