Policy priorities
Our policy priorities are currently being finalised for the BFI Forward Plan 2012-2017.
The table below sets out the policy priorities across the six core activity areas supported by the UK Film Council. Since the abolition of the UK Film Council in 2011, and the transfer of some industry functions to the BFI, new strategic priorities are currently being finalised for the BFI Forward Plan 2012-2017.
