A symposium organised by CCPR and held at the RSA in London in September 2014 to present findings of an AHRC-funded study on The UK Film Council (UKFC): A Case Study of Film Policy in Transition was a forum for lively exchange about strategic policy interventions to support film.  Led by project PI Gillian Doyle, the project investigates the history of the UK Film Council, examines its effectiveness as a model of public support for film and analyses what lessons for strategic interventions in film policy can be drawn from its experience.  Participants at the event, which was chaired by Co-I Philip Schlesinger, included producers and practitioners from across the film sector, executives from film support bodies and cultural agencies, policy makers and academics specialising in film policy.  More information about the project can be found here.
