Notes on table
The UK Film Council became operational in April 2000.
It now funds the British Film Institute from the grant-in-aid
it receives from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
The British Film Commission is now part of the Council. British
Screen Finance and the European Co-Production Fund have been absorbed
into the Council.
The remit for the three national screen agencies
- Sgrin Cymru Wales, Scottish Screen and the Northern Ireland
Film and Television Commission Agency (NIFTC) - goes beyond film.
Sgrin Cymru Wales and Scottish Screen are responsible for promoting
and developing film, television and new media in their respective
countries. The NIFTC is responsible for film and television.
Due to this varied remit, it has not in all cases
been possible to identify direct funding for specific film related
activities. In the case of Sgrin Cymru Wales, it has only been
possible to provide an approximation, rather than a precise figure,
of funding solely related to film. The figures include approximate
percentages of core funding received from the Welsh Assembly Government
and its sponsored bodies.
*These figures include £45,000 provided by the
UK Film Council in 2001/02 and 2002/03.
±These figures include £18,750 in 2000/01,
and £160,000 in 2001/02 and 2002/03.
§This refers to money received solely from the
Department for Enterprise, Trade and Industry, and includes operating
support to the Film and Television Commission.
†These figures include £200,000 from the
UK Film Council in 2001/02 and 2002/03.
The following table gives details of lottery funding
for film (in £ million).
