Review "As well as offering a critical overview of the political, policy and technological contexts which framed the organisation's creation, existence and eventual demise, The Rise and Fall of the UK Film Council analyses the tensions between differing sectoral, commercial and cultural agendas, and between national and global interests in an increasingly transnational film industry."
