Abstract
Drawing on interviews with leading film executives, politicians and industry stakeholders including all of the UKFC’s chairs (Alan Parker, Stewart Till and Tim Bevan) and its CEO John Woodward, this book provides an empirically grounded analysis of the rise and unexpected fall of the UK Film Council, the key strategic body responsible for supporting film in the UK for over a decade. As well as offering a critical overview of the political, policy and technological contexts which framed the organisation’s creation, existence and eventual demise, the book provides a probing analysis of the tensions between differing sectoral interests, commercial and cultural agendas, and between national and global interests in an increasingly transnational film industry.
