British Film Institute (BFI)

Description

The British Film Institute (BFI) describes itself as a cultural charity, a National Lottery distributor, and the UK’s lead organisation for film and the moving image. Founded in 1933, the BFI is a registered charity governed by Royal Charter. Its mission includes growing and caring for the BFI National Archive, and using its knowledge to educate and deepen public appreciation and understanding of film and the moving image. The archive can be used for business, research or licensing opportunities, and the BFI Reuben Library at BFI Southbank, available to everyone free of charge, holds books, journals and digitised material about the world of film, television and the moving image. The BFI publishes free research data and market intelligence on the UK film industry and other screen sectors: its Research and Statistics Unit publishes the annual BFI Statistical Yearbook, and the BFI produces official statistics and bespoke research throughout the year. It is a project partner of the CoSTAR Foresight Lab. Follow the BFI on LinkedIn and YouTube.
