in association with the Regional Development Agency and South West Arts Board.<br />

West Midlands<br />

A working group has been established to consider the feasibility of identifying a<br />

mechanism to provide a stronger focus for all aspects of film in the region.<br />

Principal partners include: Midlands Media Training Consortia; Central England Media<br />

Development Agency; PACT; West Midlands Arts; Advantage West Midlands; Birmingham<br />

International <strong>Film</strong> and Television Festival; and the Rural Media Company. The DCMS<br />

representative at the GO for the West Midlands is convening the group.<br />

An approach has been made to the <strong>FILM</strong> COUNCIL for financial assistance.<br />

Yorkshire and the Humberside<br />

A Media Industries Partnership has been in place for some time and has already had<br />

significant success in attracting substantial ERDF funding. Discussions are ongoing about<br />

the benefits of constituting the partnership and on the optimum mechanisms for<br />

planning, distribution of funding and delivery. At the same time, plans are being<br />

advanced for the creation of a more consolidated production structure for the region<br />

under the rubric Studio of the North.<br />

Principal partners are YMPA, Yorkshire Screen Commission, Yorkshire Media Training<br />

Consortium, Yorkshire Arts Board and the Culture Company. The partnership looks to see<br />

a step increase in activity across the sector and particularly looks to maximise<br />

opportunities from the new EU Objective 1, 2 and 3 programmes.<br />

The <strong>FILM</strong> COUNCIL has been advised that a formal approach for assistance is about<br />

to be made.<br />
