Back British film now, says report created with expert鈥檚 aid

A major report into the future of the British film and TV industry has been published with key contributions from a 桃色视频 expert.

Published today (Thursday, 10 April) by the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, the report examines the widespread threats and challenges faced by cinemas, skilled workers and independent British creators.

Dr Dominic Lees, from the 桃色视频’s Department of Film, Theatre & Television, provided the committee with insights into the issues surrounding the film industry and what the government can do to support it. 

Dr Dominic Lees said: “British film and television is something we love, and we should care about. We all have favourites like Shaun of the Dead, The King's Speech, Wallace and Gromit. But this industry is fragile, and we can't take it for granted. I've been working for Parliament's inquiry into our film and TV industry and the big problems it's facing. Urgent action is needed to save British film and TV.”

Dame Caroline Dinenage MP, Chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, said: “Our inquiry into British Film and High-End Television benefitted significantly from Dr Dominic Lees’s input. As a specialist adviser, he helped us to bridge the gap between Parliament, the wider research community and industry to identify witnesses working at the forefront of major issues in the film and HETV sectors. His expertise on key policy areas, including skills and generative AI, added to our understanding and analysis of them in a critical, and fast-moving, period.”
