This conference looked at how to tackle the potential challenges that lie ahead for the film industry in the UK. Delegates evaluated the current state of play as well as priorities for sector recovery, future financing models, and addressing skills deficits.
Further sessions considered the wider challenge of realising the international potential of the UK’s film sector as well as further opportunities for growth and innovation, driving competition, and securing UK film’s position in a global economy.
It was also a timely opportunity to consider how the sector is moving forward from the impact of the pandemic and what could be learned for the future from strategies designed to help recovery - such as the Film & TV Production restart scheme and wider Government initiatives for cultural recovery, alongside measures outlined by the UK Cinema Association and the BFI.
We were pleased to be able to include keynote contributions from: Ben Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, British Film Institute; and Julie Baines, Founder, Dan Films; and Co-Chair, Film Producers Group, PACT.
We also welcomed contributions from speakers including: Adrian Wootton, Chief Executive, Film London; and Chief Executive Officer, British Film Commission; and Rupert Daniels, Director, Creative, Lifestyle and Learning, Department for International Trade.
The discussion brought together stakeholders with key policy officials who attended from BEIS; the DCMS; DIT; HMRC; and Ofcom - as well as parliamentary pass-holders from both Houses of Parliament.
