The British Film Institute (BFI) is one of the UK's oldest and most
important government-supported cultural institutions. From a modest
start in the 1930s it grew rapidly after the war to encompass every
kind of film-related activity from production to archiving to
exhibition to education. At the beginning of the twenty-first
century its turnover was approaching GBP30m and it had become a
central point of reference for anyone whose interest in film
stretched beyond what's on at the local multiplex. There was
nothing straightforward about this rise to prominence. It was
achieved in the face of government indifference, active obstruction
from the film trade, internecine warfare within the organisation
and fierce contestation on the part of the BFI's own core public.
Based on intensive original research in the BFI's own voluminous
archives and elsewhere, this book examines the interplay of
external and internal forces that led to the BFI's unique
development as a multi-faceted public body. This volume will be a
treasure trove for anyone interested in film and the workings of
cultural institutions, or more generally in twentieth-century
British film history. -- .
