“has lost the £45m funding it was promised by the last government.”

“The British Film Institute (BFI) announced plans for a £166m National Film Centre last year, to be built on the site of a car park behind the London Eye.”

“If built, the building will have five cinema screens with additional space for exhibitions, cultural events and research facilities.”

“'Over 50% of the department's cuts that have been announced are coming from film,' it said in a statement.”

“Other casualties include the Find Your Talent scheme that sought to offer children and young people five hours of culture a week both in and out of school.”
