Statement regarding the closure of the UK Film Council
The UK Film Council (UKFC) is a key and valued partner and has offered strong support for the skills agenda. We will be working with both our UKFC colleagues and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to identify how we can continue our vital work on skills development to ensure our film industry remains a world leader.
Our understanding is that government support for the film industry will continue through Lottery funding. The majority of our work in film is funded through the Lottery. There will be discussions taking place over how Lottery funding will be delivered to us and a discussion about film priorities going forward.
We will be involved in those discussions and it has been indicated that existing commitments will be honoured.
