BFI factsheet

1) A British film is made of things not wholeheartedly British but contains mostly of things that are, for instance a film does not need to be filmed entirely in Britain but needs to contain a British cast and crew, including director and funding.

2) The most significant difference between 'hollywood' and a British production would be the budget as Hollywood films would have a large budget whereas a British production would typically have a much lower budget.

3) The James Bond franchise started in the 1960's.

4) From the 70's and 80's sexual content became much more prominent in British films and as a result censorship in the forms of age ratings dependent on the violence and sexual content.

5) In British film youth are regularly represented typically in a council housing estate and gang related, this is evident in films such as 'attack the block'. Moreover women are frequently mentioned in British film often in a sexual way for instance in 'confessions of a window cleaner'.

6) The factsheet implies that people may want to view British film for British culture as they can almost see an interpretation of their own lives in the film.
