What is a British film?
Most people would define a British film with reference to obvious
cultural elements such as: a setting in the UK or a focus on British
people abroad; a predominantly British cast; a storyline about someaspect of British life past, present or future or notably by, or based
on a work by, a British author.Examples include Billy Elliott, about a boy in North East England, and BendIt Like Beckham, about a girl from West London, both portraying particular
social issues. The nationalities of scriptwriter, producer, director and, perhapsespecially, the investment seem less obviously significant. However, bothartistic and financial considerations serve to complicate this issue.
