Written Question
Film: Finance
Thursday 20th December 2018

Asked by: Rebecca Pow (Conservative - Taunton Deane)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if he will take steps to ensure ongoing funding for the distribution of British films abroad after the cessation of the Creative Europe funding scheme in 2020.

Answered by Margot James

As the Prime Minister stated in her Mansion House speech, the UK is committed to continuing cultural collaboration between the UK and EU. Where possible, the UK will continue to participate in EU programmes where there is mutual benefit to the UK and the EU, ultimately, this will be determined as part of the future partnership negotiations between the UK and the EU. The British Film Institute (BFI) and its partners offer extensive support to the film industry - from development and skills to distribution and audiences - and this will continue independently of Creative Europe.
