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.
 The
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.

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.
