New Horizons for UK Film

Following Chris Smith’s review of film in the UK, the BFI has been considering the report’s recommendations whilst drafting a five year plan. New Horizons for UK Film outlines our proposals for investing Lottery funding for UK film and sets out a fresh agenda to capitalise on British creativity and talent. The proposals cover a wide range of activities for supporting filmmaking, production, development, distribution and exhibition, education, skills development and film heritage — with a central focus on building audiences across the UK and on all platforms.

We welcome your views, and will be undertaking a comprehensive consultation exercise from 14 May to 10 June. The consultation document will be available here from 14 May with a link to our online consultation, and we will be running events across the UK to gather feedback on our plans.
