The UK Film Council
The UK Film Council is the Government-backed lead agency for film in the UK ensuring the
economic, cultural and educational aspects of films are effectively represented at home and abroad.
Our goal is to help make the UK a global hub for film in the digital age, with the world’s most
imaginative, diverse and vibrant film culture, underpinned by a flourishing, competitive film industry.
We invest Government grant-in-aid and Lottery money in developing new filmmakers, in funding new
British films and in getting a wider choice of films to audiences throughout the UK. We also invest in
skills training, promoting Britain as an international filmmaking location and in raising the profile of
British films abroad.
The UK Film Council Export Development team
Our Export Development team supports the export of UK films and talent and services internationally
in a number of different ways:
Promoting a clear export strategy
Consulting and working with industry and government
Undertaking export research
Supporting export development schemes and projects
Providing export information
The team is located within the UK Film Council’s Production Finance Division and is part of the
International Group.
Over the forthcoming year, Export Development will be delivering umbrella stands at the Toronto
International Film Festival and Hong Kong Filmart; and supporting the UK stands at the Pusan Asian
Film Market; American Film Market and the European Film Market, Berlin;. The team will also be
leading Research & Development delegations to Japan and China. Other activities may be added
