The test contains 31 points across 4 sections - cultural content, cultural contribution, cultural hubs, and cultural practitioners. A film needs at least 16 points to pass the test. Being designated a British film provides tax relief for film production companies of up to 25% for films spending less than £20 million or 20% for films spending more. In addition to passing the cultural test, British films must be intended for theatrical release and have minimum UK production spending of 25%.

There are various methods for financing films, as it is difficult to predict a film's financial success. Producers must secure funding before filming begins. Government grants and subsidies are available to encourage creativity and support employment, culture, and tourism. Tax incentives also help attract productions by allowing investors to pay less tax. Pre-sales, or selling distribution rights before filming, is a common financing method, as it provides security for investors. However, it can limit creative control and require commercially viable elements like stars. Small independent studios rely more on grants due to the inability to offer secure returns or afford big budgets.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is responsible for setting policy to support the British film industry through funding, tax incentives, and the Cultural Test, which determines if a film qualifies as British; the DCMS works with organizations like the British Film Institute (BFI) and provides lottery funding and financial support for production. The DCMS also negotiates co-production agreements and issues film certificates to allow companies to claim tax relief.

This document provides information about British cinema. It begins by stating that the focus will be on how film institutions relate to production, distribution, and consumption of films in the UK.

The DCMS Jan 2012 Film Policy Review
The document summarizes the key points from the 2012 UK Film Policy Review conducted by Lord Smith. The review recommended that 1) producers should recoup funding from financially successful films to reinvest in future productions, 2) broadcasters like Sky and ITV should increase investment in British films, and 3) film education should be brought into every British school to develop new audiences. Some concerns about the review included that it may sideline independent films and focus funding only on commercial successes, which are difficult to predict. The overall goal appeared to continue supporting a wide range of British films and improve audiences for local films.
Revision uk film and the hollywood context
The document discusses several aspects of the British film industry and its relationship with Hollywood. It asks whether a British film needs only a UK setting, cast, or storyline to be considered British. It also examines the importance of a national film industry for the economy and culture. British films often involve co-productions and distribution through Hollywood studios, so marketing decisions consider both UK and US audiences. Hollywood has been more successful due to continually reinventing itself and taking advantage of new technologies to expand globally. Recent British films have promoted more diversity and representation in national identity.
