Export strategy
Our strategy for export supports the growth of the UK film industry's international market share by providing research and development to help UK companies generate income overseas for reinvestment.
The aim of this strategy is to:
- Maintain and grow the international market share and value of independent UK film by supporting companies to exploit opportunities in film export
- Contribute to building a globally competitive independent UK film industry through a programme of export and research development activities
This aim is being delivered in the following ways:
- Creation of the Film Export Group (FEG) and an FEG strategy
- Identifying key export development territories
- Support for British films at international festivals (IFSS)
- Research and development on online film distribution
- Through the London UK Film Focus
- Support for UK films attending international film markets
- Territory-specific distribution initiatives
- Support access to EU MEDIA funds and resources, European Film Promotion and Europa Cinemas
- Providing film export data and intelligence
- Providing UKFC funding for export activity
- Generating external sources of funding to support UK film exports
