- Both the BFI and Film London are taking over functions that once belonged to the UK Film Council. For the BFI this will include the distribution of National Lottery funding.
- Film London will be encouraging inward investment in the UK in a partnership with Warner Bros., Pinewood Studios Group, the Production Guild, UK Screen Association and others.
- The Innovation Fund was an initiative proposed in the UK Film Council's 3 year plan, however the decision to abolish the UKFC was made before the fund was launched and so the it was frozen.
- The Certification of films is still responsibility of the UK Film Council and will be until the 31st March 2011 when it will be handed over the the BFI
- The Film Fund and the Prints and Advertising Fund will continue to accept and assess applications for funding and will continue until 31 March 2012. After that it will be for the BFI, in consultation with the Government, the film sector and other stakeholders, to decide on its future policy and funding priorities.
