british features eg. Director, location, actors and storyline

7. UK Film Council
The UKFC is faced with abolition and the public film-funding model will almost
certainly have to be redesigned
 “Many producers and directors are delighted that it’s finally been axed,
wrote Taking Liberties producer/director Chris Atkins in the Times, claiming
that the UKFC “represented the worst form of New Labour wastage”.
The UKFC is an invention of the National Lottery era. It invested £67 million into
79 features and £1.4 million into 49 short films. It also invested £95 million in
the three UK production franchises awarded to DNA, Pathé and the Film
Consortium in May 1997.
The truth is that in 2010, over half of independent production companies are
loss-making.
“What has not happened in the last ten years is that we haven’t seen the
emergence of commercially sustainable UK film production companies.”

8. Boom time? Recession?
 The UK is in a recession, meaning the film industry is
suffering.

international people.
 Kings Speech – British people because they’d be interested
in the history and story behind it
