South West Screen wants to tell you the latest about the changes happening to the Regional Screen Agency (RSA) network, and they want to make sure you are kept informed.
 
Following the announcement of the abolition of the UK Film Council in July 2010, the RSA’s have been working with DCMS to decide on the best structure of continued support for the film and media industry outside of London, and to secure a strong future for the UK’s creative industries.
 
On 29 November 2010, the Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries Ed Vaizey announced that the BFI will become the lead strategic body on film and the distributor of Lottery funds to UK filmmakers from April 2011, and that Film London will manage the UK’s national inward investment function for film. The Minister also announced that the English RSA’s outside London will transform their network into Creative England, “a simpler, more efficient structure with an expanded remit to support the creative industries across England.”
 
Creative England will be a new nationwide network to support the content industries of Film, Television, Games, and Digital and Creative Services. It will be based on three key hubs; Creative North, Creative Central and Creative South. To read FAQ’s about Creative England, please visit the website here.
 
South West Screen and the other RSA’s outside of London are now working together to reform into the new Creative England network, working with the BFI to develop a Film Strategy and developing the wider Creative England business plan with Government and industry.
 
South West Screen wants to ensure you come with us as we reform into the new Creative England network later this year. We need you to opt in to our new Creative England database now so that we can keep you informed of Creative England developments and news. To register your details, please click here.
 
In the meantime, it will be 'business as usual' for the RSA’s, which will remain your first point of contact for questions regarding regional funding, production, locations, filming, skills, training, audience development or exhibition.
 
Best wishes,
 
South West Screen
