Priority 1: We want to encourage people to build a lifelong relationship with film, to help build audiences for a broader range of films across all platforms and to ensure that film culture can be accessed and enjoyed by everyone across the whole of the UK
Proirity 2: to nurture and invest in a diverse mix of first-class filmmaking activity across the UK, from emerging to established filmmakers, that will enrich British film culture, increase the economic value of UK film and define Britain and its storytellers in the 21st century.
Priority 3: Access to screen heritage is integral to the BFI’s ambitions to develop British film and talent, and to provide a programme which attracts new audiences, public and professional, to a richer experience of film
