<strong>FILM</strong> COUNCIL AND THE ARTS COUNCIL OF <strong>ENGLAND</strong><br />
GUIDANCE NOTE<br />
POLICY RESPONSIBILITIES FOR <strong>FILM</strong>, TELEVISION AND THE MOV<strong>IN</strong>G IMAGE<br />
FROM 1 APRIL 2000<br />
1. Introduction<br />
Following the establishment of the <strong>FILM</strong> COUNCIL, it was agreed that the Arts<br />
<strong>Council</strong> of England (ACE) and the <strong>FILM</strong> COUNCIL would clarify their respective<br />
policy responsibilities for film, television and the moving image.<br />
At a meeting held between the DCMS, the ACE and the <strong>FILM</strong> COUNCIL on<br />
21 January 2000, it was confirmed that the <strong>FILM</strong> COUNCIL had lead responsibility<br />
for the development of a sustainable film industry and the development of film<br />
culture and education. Its remit embraced film, television and all other moving<br />
image media and the scope of its interests included but were not limited to:<br />
collections management (film heritage), distribution, education, exhibition and<br />
production. It was further confirmed at that meeting that, as an expression of its<br />
work in other art forms (eg the visual arts), the ACE would continue to have lead<br />
responsibility for artists’ film and video, arts broadcasting and digital arts.<br />
In relation to Lottery funds, the ACE retains responsibility for the disbursement<br />
of funds for the full spectrum of film and the moving image. For example, the<br />
Arts Capital Programme (CP2), Stabilisation and Recovery and via the Regional<br />
Arts Boards the Regional Arts Lottery Programme (RALP). The ACE will seek policy<br />
advice from the <strong>FILM</strong> COUNCIL in relation to its Lottery programmes and, where<br />
appropriate, consult the <strong>FILM</strong> COUNCIL on individual allocations.<br />
