London - A new agency is to be established to boost the British film industry, it has been reported. It is expected to bring together various existing quangos in a move to streamline policy.
The London Times said the new agency would initially receive all government and National Lottery finance for films and could bring together the British Film Institute, British Screen, the Film Commission and the film-funding role of the Arts Council, whose chairman, Mr Gerry Robinson, was said to be annoyed at the prospect.
