A Bigger Future report - BFI - British Film Institute

• to promote the wide range of careers opportunities and encourage diversity
in the industry;
• to organise a regular Skills Conference for the industry and training and
education sectors;
• to communicate effectively the roles and responsibilities of the UK Film
Council, Skillset and the National and Regional Screen Agencies in relation
to skills development.
In order to achieve these objectives the UK Film Council and Skillset will work to
disseminate the following key messages:
• The Film Skills Strategy, A Bigger Future, is a pioneering plan that has brought
the film industry together to create dialogue and take a more forward-looking,
long-term view. It is a strategy which can pre-empt and anticipate skills
shortages in the entire workforce as well as filling gaps in individuals’ skills.
• This is a consumer/end user led strategy which is genuinely responsive
to needs.
