Recommendation 68
68
Deferred
Create a National Screen Heritage Strategy with BFI covering funding, skills and infrastructure.
Recommendation
Within the next 12 months, the Government should work with the BFI and wider screen heritage sector to create a National Screen Heritage Strategy, including in the areas of funding, skills and infrastructure. The strategy should be reviewed and renewed periodically, to maintain focus on the needs and resilience of screen archives, rather than being allowed to expire and once again leave screen archives at risk. (Recommendation, Paragraph 241) 110
Government Response Summary
The government deferred the recommendation, stating it will consider it with the BFI but cannot commit to undertaking the project without a resource assessment, also suggesting the BFI is better placed to lead.
