Quotes from BFI
"Film is at the very core of Britain's cultural life and today's figures show that the appetite for cinema-going across the UK is as healthy as ever. 2011 was a phenomenal year, with the box office results showing that independently produced British films captivated audiences. That said, we are pragmatic; it's still a challenging time for filmmakers trying to raise finance to make independent British films in this tough economic climate. As we enter 2012 many challenges remain, but today's figures clearly show that keeping audiences at the heart of everything we do will help the British film industry to enjoy even greater success in the future and continue to be an important contributor to the UK economy." Amanda Nevill, CEO of the BFI
"2011 was an amazing year for British film and for audiences, but it's vital that we make sure this success continues throughout 2012 and beyond. Lord Smith's recent review of film policy highlighted ways to remove barriers to production and ensure that film plays an important role in driving economic growth. I look forward to working with the BFI and the industry on the review's recommendations and ensuring that we continue to nurture and grow this thriving sector of industry." Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, Ed Vaizey
