BRIEF HISTORY OF
THE BRITISH FILM
INDUSTRY
By Bethany Bouchareb
Early history
• Emerged in the late 19th century

• In the first decade of the 20th century
more than 30 film studios were
established in and around London
• Success with British films faded as
America begun creating feature length
films which were more expensive and
heavily marketed
• In 1925, the British film industry were
making fewer than 40 feature length
films a year
CINEMATOGRAPH FILMS
ACT 1927
• An act that was created by the
government
• A quota was set for British made
films and this quota had to to be
met by the distributors and
exhibitors
• The production of British made
films doubled by the end of the
decade
• This also established new
production companies
• However this is also the blamed
reason for creating a marker of
poor quality, low costing films and
quota ‘quickies’
1930’s
• The ‘talkies’ (sound film) had a
good effect on the British film
industry
• The most successful British film
company in this time was founded
by a Hungarian: London Film
Productions
• In the late 1930’s the British film
industry came to a halt again due
to being bankrupt from over
expanding
• Quality tests were included with
quotas to avoid quota quickies.
WORLD WAR 2 AND
POST WAR
• Was in recession at the beginning

• Cinema attendance rose
• The British film company tried to
compete with America in studio
size
• In 1947, America stopped
distributing films to the UK
CINEMATOGRAPHIC ACT
REVISITED
• The exhibitors quota was raised

• The National Film Finance Corporation (NFFC) was
introduced to distribute loans for film production
1950’S-1980s
• The British film industry
was at competition with
new technologies (radio
and TV)
• The British film industry
had expertise in special
effects (A space odyssey)
• British filmmakers begun
to make film versions of
TV programs
• The NFFC was abolished
• The quota system was
suspended
THE LAST 10 YEARS
• The UK film council
was launched
• Bridget Jones Diary
was a big hit for the
British film industry

• Harry Potter was
British made but
American funded
• In 2008, Britain was
the 11th largest
producer of films in
the world
