Filming in London and the UK

From 1 April 2011, The British Film Institute (BFI) will be the UK Government's lead strategic body for film. It is intended that most of the UK Film Council's core functions, including its strategic role, will be transferred to the BFI - this will include the distribution of National Lottery funding for the development and production of new British films, as well as audience development activity through supporting film distribution and exhibition.

Film London has been charged with developing and managing a national strategy to generate inward investment through film production via a public-private partnership with key industry bodies.
