1 FUTURE OF FILM ARCHIVES SECURED James Purnell announces 25 million for national and regional film archives As the curtain opens on the Times BFI 51 st London Film Festival, Culture Secretary James Purnell today announced that the UK Film Council (UKFC) has been awarded 25 million to safeguard the future of the UK s national and regional film archives. Mr Purnell revealed the funding package from the latest DCMS funding settlement ahead of his attendance at tonight s opening gala performance of David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises in Leicester Square. This 25 million fund is in addition to 3 million from the UK Film Council for the UK Digital Film Archive Fund. It will enable the UK Film Council to implement its screen heritage strategy to preserve the visual memory of the UK and ensure access for all. Using the funds the UKFC will: preserve and restore the British Film Institute (BFI) national collection and the regional collections, some of which is deteriorating and in danger of being lost; ensure a joined up strategic approach to making the collections safe and overcome issues around rights, digitisation and skills investment; increase accessibility to the public; and enable archive material to be accessed around the regions.

2 The BFI National Archive is one of the world's greatest collections of film and television and one of the most accessible. The majority of the collection is British material but it also features a significant number of works from around the world. And it contains more than 60,000 fiction films, 120,000 non-fiction titles and around 675,000 television programmes, which is well over 500,000 hours of material. But much of the content of the archive is in danger of being lost and much needs to be restored. An estimated 30 per cent (123,000 cans) of the acetate collection is deteriorating. Mr Purnell said: The archive is a national treasure. It s a visual history of Britain since the moving image began. From the earliest silent newsreels to CinemaScope to 3-D, the BFI archive is one of the greatest collections of film and TV in the world. It s vital that we safeguard its future. This additional 25 million will secure the future of the national and regional archives. It s absolutely right that they should be safe and accessible for future generations. John Woodward, Chief Executive Officer of the UK Film Council, said:

3 This is a fantastic boost for our nation s screen heritage which brings to life the UK s cultural, social, political and economic history. We are now in a position to take forward our plan for screen heritage in the UK which has been developed in partnership with the sector. This money, together with 3 million of UK Film Council funding to digitise film archives will mean that the regional and national archives can protect, preserve and showcase their amazing film collections for audiences across the UK to enjoy. Amanda Nevill, Director of the BFI said: Through our emerging and nascent projects such as TV coproductions, online access activities and the Mediatheque, we have proved just how hungry the public is for archive and heritage film and how much they value it. This level of investment will mean we can once again set a world standard in conservation and preservation and bring into view so much more of our precious heritage captured on film and that the public is clamouring for. The national archive Public interest in film heritage was demonstrated in the BBC TV series "The Lost World of Mitchell and Kenyon", which showed everyday life in Edwardian Britain taken from the Mitchell and Kenyon Collection of 800 rolls of early nitrate film, and attracted a television audience in excess of 4.5 million each week.

4 In schools, DVDs of the Mitchell and Kenyon Collection are a useful teaching tool in aspects of Key Stage 3 history. The BFI has released a number of DVD compilations of films from the Archive as free teaching aids to support Primary and Secondary teachers. The first of these specifically explores the topic of Citizenship and Britishness. The regional archives The regional film archives actively search for, acquire, and then provide access to film and video material specifically relevant to their regions. Almost all of the collections are non-fiction (feature films being the remit of the BFI ), and they vary in size from one individual film to a collection of hundreds of titles. The films are often acquired because of their local interest, but in many instances these collections are much more significant and of national and international importance. For example: one single reel of nitrate film was deposited with the Yorkshire Film Archive, by a member of the public who had been to an archive screening. The film shows unique moving images of Queen Victoria when she visited Sheffield to open the new Sheffield Town Hall on 21 st May, A film found and made accessible through regional activity, but of national importance.

5 At the North West Film Archive, the Manchester Ship Canal Company donated 175 reels of professional industrial films, dating from 1908 to the 1970s recording the historical breadth and depth of the company s domestic and maritime exploits. On a larger scale still, the East Anglian Film Archive holds over 1,200 award winning films, dating from 1932, made by the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers a collection of national and international interest. The IAC require frequent access to their collection, as it continues to be actively used, but their primary consideration was to deposit the collection with an Archive with a reputation for specialist small gauge film expertise. Notes to editors 1. The 25 million archive allowance is in addition to the UK Film Council s annual fund. This is still being decided following DCMS s Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) settlement. The money will be split roughly evenly across 2 years. 2. For further details on DCMS s settlement and the Departmental Strategic Objectives over the CSR07 period, please see The 2007 Pre-Budget Report and Comprehensive Spending Review: Meeting the aspirations of the British people, which can be found at: 3. The Strategy for UK Screen Heritage sets out to: address immediate funding deficiencies in the sector, mitigating the risk of loss of key screen heritage material and thus safeguarding our heritage;

6 re-structure support for the sector, to secure the skills and organisational infrastructure necessary to care for the heritage; create a critical mass of digitised material and the digital infrastructure required to deliver the vision by ensuring the widest possible access for the public. The first phase is focussed primarily on the BFI National Archive, Regional Screen Agencies (RSAs) and Regional Film Archives (RFAs). 4. In addition to receiving grant-in-aid from the UK Film Council, the BFI works closely with other funding partners such as the Heritage Lottery Fund and HP to achieve its aims.
