On September 18, a UK government think tank published its comprehensive report on the state of the British film industry aimed at addressing the challenges facing the industry within the highly competitive international marketplace, and identifying where public support could be increased. The inquiry came to the same conclusions as those put forward by the main UK film agencies: UK film tax incentives must be maintained, even improved, and UK broadcasters (in particular the BBC) must commit to a heavier and on-going support to local films.
