(UTV | UNITED KINGDOM) – Actors Jude Law and Gemma Arterton have welcomed a new £7m fund that will help UK films reach international audiences.
The UK Global Screen Fund has been developed by the DCMS in partnership with the British Film Institute (BFI).
The one-year pilot scheme will help the UK’s independent screen sector export content to markets around the world.
Law said the funding would “assist in sparking partnerships”, while Arterton said it would help the UK’s “boundary-pushing” content to travel overseas.
