Fighting our corner

2010 promises to be a year of tough decisions for the UK and EU agencies tasked with supporting film.
 
The UK Film Council is undertaking a consultation to determine its priorities for the next 3 years. Film Export UK is the trade association for companies with UK offices specialising in international sales of independent films. It represents its members interests by constructively engaging with the planning processes as they evolve.
 
UK Film: Digital innovation and creative excellenceThe UKFC consultation also seeks the input of individuals and companies and Film Export UK is urging all its member companies to respond on their own accounts.
You can find more information here www.ukfilmcouncil.org.uk/consultation2009.
What is an
independent film?

Not a Hollywood studio film. The majors, the household names of the movie business for decades, normally produce movies within their own corporate divisions and distribute them through their subsidiaries all round the world. A film is described as independent when its financing, production or distribution occurs in whole or in part outside this vertically integrated structure. When it is distributed independently, a film sales company appoints local distributors in each international territory to release the movie.
