The UK’s new Film Council will be investing in movies. Art films? Documentaries? Not hardly. “There’s no difference between the Film Council and the mini-studios that exist in Britain, such as FilmFour, Momentum, Redbus, Renaissance, Sky Pictures, Intermedia. We are not dirigistes, as you are in France. Public money should be invested prudently, just like private money. We are not prepared to take unnecessary risks.” – The Guardian
