British Film Institute

Background
British Film Institute was established by Royal Charter in 1933 to encourage the development of the arts of film, television and the moving image throughout the United Kingdom, to promote their use as a record of contemporary life and manners, to promote education about film, television and the moving image generally, and their impact on society, to promote access to and appreciation of the widest possible range of British and world cinema and to establish, care for and develop collections reflecting the moving image history and heritage of the United Kingdom. UK Film Council was set up in 2000 by Labour Government as a public fund to promote and develop the film industry in UK. It was funded from various sources, including the National Lottery (which was pointed in the logo). In 2010 the government coalition announced the Council to be closed, and unfortunately, this happened on 31st March 2011. The funding control was transerred to British Film Institute (BFI).
