New £18m TV and Film Hub in Birmingham

By Uncategorized No Comments

A new £18m TV and film production creative hub – designed for media innovation – will bring technological solutions to Birmingham, as the city’s creatives explore new platforms.

A planning application has been submitted for Fazeley Street, Digbeth, which would see five existing and derelict heritage buildings changed for independent TV production and content developers to use for a creative hub. Producers will work with broadcasters at the new area for film, TV, games and virtual production. The facility – costing £18m – will resident in a 50,000 sq ft space after cash injections from Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership (GBSLEP).

Anita Bhalla, GBSLEP Board Director for Creative and Culture said: “GBSLEP’s investment of £3m reflects our commitment to the creative industries which we see as a priority sector that stimulates inclusive economic growth and a catalyst for job creation. The Creative Content Hub will be an exciting addition to the media landscape and at the heart of innovative production in the region. It’s also an exciting step towards creating a TV, film and multimedia cluster in the heart of Birmingham’s Creative Quarter, in Digbeth.

“As a LEP we work with our public, private and academic partners to identify opportunities of growth in our region and the Creative Content Hub is an example of how we have come together to create a cohesive offering for businesses in the creative industries. Crucially, GBSLEP’s investment means the funding gap for this project has been filled and it can now be moved to the next stage of development.’’

Contemporary arts education provider picks Birmingham for expansion

By Uncategorized No Comments

Contemporary arts education provider BIMM group is opening two new colleges in Birmingham this year to meet demand for industry-ready graduates in the creative sector.

Screen and Film School Birmingham and Performers College Birmingham will offer BA (Hons) level courses from its new campus in Digbeth this September.

The Department for Culture Media and Sports estimates that the creative industries were the fastest growing sector of the past decade. By 2019, they contributed £115.9bn gross value added to the UK economy, second only to the digital industry and more than the aerospace, automotive and life sciences sectors combined.

A planned film studio expansion – led by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight – will be located a short distance from BIMM’s two new colleges. They will sit alongside the established BIMM Birmingham, which opened in September 2017. All three BIMM colleges are building outreach initiatives with local schools and FE colleges and have formed relationships with industry organisations such as Birmingham Royal Ballet, Birmingham Hippodrome, Birmingham Film Festival, Optomen, North One, ACE Dance and Music, and Nicholson Studios.

CEO and head of institution for the BIMM Group, Adam Carswell said: “I am exceptionally proud of the success we have seen in our music colleges in our UK and European cities. With nearly four decades of experience, we’re recognised as being at the forefront of UK music education and we are excited to bring our unique approach to both the performing arts and filmmaking sectors. Finding a path to building a successful career in the creative industries can feel daunting to many young people, which is why we work in partnership with the industries we serve to ensure our students have everything they need to hit the ground running when they graduate.

“While the recent pandemic has brought many challenges, it has also demonstrated the agility and resilience of the creative industries. With the ever growing opportunities in the sector, there’s never been a better time to be a student or practitioner in today’s diverse, creative and world-leading industry.”

Adil Hussain Speaks On Shooting In Birmingham Amid COVID-19 Protocol

By Uncategorized No Comments

Actor Adil Hussain has opened up on his recent shoot in Birmingham amid Covid protocol post lockdown, for the British-Indian film Footprints On Water. The film tells the story of an illegal immigrant in the UK who is frantically searching for his missing daughter while evading the police. A directorial venture of Nathalia Syam, starring Adil Hussain, the story is by Neetha Syam.

“Keeping the backdrop of the story aside, the emotion of a father and his responsibility towards his daughter are universal. Here, in the film, the predicament is such that this father cannot go to the police to seek help because he is an illegal migrant. He is helpless and cannot take legal support. It is interesting how his emotion plays out and how desperate he feels,” Adil told IANS.

“Nathalia is a delight to work with. She has a clear vision and a close connection with the story of the film. She is well-versed with reality. On one hand, while the actors were given the freedom to bring their own interpretation, Nathalia has a careful eye on maintaining the emotional graph and texture of the story so that we maintain the sense of authenticity of the story and characters. It was quite an interesting process to indulge in,” Adil said.

Apart from Adil Hussain, Lena Kumar portrays the missing girl’s stepmother while Nimisha Sajayan plays the girl. Nimisha, incidentally, was the leader of the 2019 Venice Film Festival title, Shadow Of Water.

The team finished their England schedule recently.

“We shot it in Birmingham, and we got support from British Film Institute (BFI) and the local film council. We had to stay in a bubble during the entire schedule. It is new normal and we are getting used to it, wherever we go. Yes, initially it was strange but we human beings naturally get used to these things,” said Adil Hussain, about the shoot.

The makers are looking for a theatrical release for the film, according to film’s London-based producer Mohaan Nadaar. “We want to take the film to festivals and premiere it along with the best in the world; we have a three-day schedule in Kerala in February and will be fully ready by April-end. We plan a release theatrically,” he said.

BFI Predicts Positive Outlook for UK Film and TV Production

By Uncategorized No Comments

Official figures published by the BFI’s Research and Statistics Unit reveal strong signs of economic recovery in UK film and high-end TV (HETV) production following months of suspended filming in the wake of the pandemic.

The final three months have recorded a £1.19 billion spend in the final quarter of 2020, the second highest spend ever over a three-month period. Despite disrupted production schedules over five to six months, production spend for the whole of 2022 is just 21 per cent down on 2019’s record levels. Inward investment and co-production films and HETV shows have delivered 76 per cent of the production spend underlining the UK’s global reputation as the world-leading centre for film and TV production.

The spend on film and HETV production in the UK in 2020 reached £2.84 billion, a 21 per cent decrease on 2019’s levels. The year started strongly and was heading towards a record production spend for the first quarter, however by the end of March production was suspended. Some post-production, VFX and animation was able to continue, but physical production only started to resume from mid-July. It is the final quarter of the year that saw a strong resumption in production activity generating a £1.19 billion spend, 38 per cent higher than the previous three months and the second highest quarterly result on record.

Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said: “These impressive figures show the resilience and creativity of the UK screen industries. We’re getting our screen industries firing on all cylinders again with the Government’s Film and TV Restart Scheme and £1.5 billion Cultural Recovery Fund which has awarded £30 million in lifeline grants to independent cinemas. I am pleased that the Government’s targeted interventions mean this sector is well placed for future strong growth and job creation.”

Ben Roberts, BFI Chief Executive, said: “After an unbelievably tough year, today’s figures show an incredibly vibrant and positive picture for film and TV in the UK. Last spring it was hard to imagine that we would be generating £1 billion worth of production activity in the final quarter which has been achieved by industry and government pulling together and the determination of our workforce to get back up and running. This sector is primed to grow with expansion underway in studios and production hot spots across the UK, delivering more jobs and more to the economy. It’s been a challenging year for cinemas but we remain optimistic for the day whne we can welcome back audiences and it’s brilliant to see some of the UK’s  greatest talent making big pictures such as 1917 which topped the box office before the pandemic hit.”

Adrian Wootton OBE, Chief Executive of the British Film Commission, said: “As today’s figures show, production recovery in the UK is well underway and demand for content is not only still there, but in fact greater than ever before. Our sector, like many, has faced unprecedented challenges, but thanks to the sheer talent of our workforce and the creative and technological innovation of our companies and infrastructure, we were swift in developing ways of continuing to produce outstanding content. Film and high-end TV have an important role to play in the UK’s economy, providing UK plc with billions of pounds into the nations and regions and supporting hundreds and thousands of jobs.”

The BFI’s Screen Sector Task Force brought together a coalition of professionals from every part of the film sector to drive forward a recovery programme to enable the industry to restart and recover. Priorities included Covid-safe guidelines for film and TV production, VFX and post-production, guidance for cinemas, the Culture Recovery Fund for Independent Cinemas in England and the ground-breaking Film & TV Production Restart Scheme backed by Government to support production companies struggling with getting insurance against Covid-related losses.  This work has been pivotal to getting film and TV production back up and running, generating jobs and contributing to the UK economy.

Cinemas across the UK faced a difficult year with efforts to tackle the pandemic requiring cinemas to close and when they were open to operate with reduced seating capacity to accommodate social distancing.  Distributors were faced with rescheduling their films, uncertain as to when they could move ahead with a confirmed opening date, including major releases the 25th Bond film No Time to Die, Marvel’s Black Widow, Death on the Nile, Fast & Furious 9Top Gun: MaverickWest Side Story and The Witches.  Many films, rather than having their cinema releases rescheduled, were instead released or premiered on VoD platforms, eg Trolls World TourArtemis Fowl and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run.

The highest grossing film released in 2020 was Sam Mendes’s UK/US film 1917, with £44 million, followed by Jeff Fowler’s Sonic the Hedgehog (£19 million) and Christopher Nolan’s UK/US Tenet (£17 million).  Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen was the highest grossing independent UK film of 2020 grossing £12 million, followed by Autumn de Wilde’s Emma (£7 million) and Armando Iannucci’s The Personal History of David Copperfield (£6 million).

Film production in detail

The total spend on feature film production during the year was £1.37 billion, 37 per cent than the level of activity in 2019. Of this spend, £412.3 million was generated in Q4, 30 per cent of the year’s total spend.

The majority of the total spend, £1.24 billion or 91 per cent, was generated by inward investment films generally in the blockbuster budget range, and co-productions, underlining the UK industry’s world-class reputation globally as an international production hub. US-studio backed productions accounted for £1.06 billion

Inward investment and co-production HETV accounted for £1.13 billion or 76 per cent of the total HETV spend.  Even allowing for the impact of the pandemic on halting production activity, the 2020 spend is the second highest on record.  Inward investment HETV productions included Anatomy of a Scandal (dir.

Animation television in detail

The spend on animation programme production in the UK in 2020 was £61 million which is 55 per cent higher than the total reported in January 2019 (later updated to £65.3 million).   Of the total spend £16.2 million or 26 per cent was generated by domestic productions and £44.8 million or 74 per cent by inward investment and co-production programmes.  2019’s overview showed domestic animation contributing the majority share of spend at 51 per cent. Animation titles starting production in 2020 included inward investment and co-production titles Deadlandia – series 1, Chip and Potato – series 2 and Robin Robin.  2020 domestic animation projects included MiloQuentin Blake’s Clown and The Rubbish World of Dave Spud –  series 2.

The UK spend and production data published today are interim results which is updated in the coming period as final reporting is received.

Box office in 2020

The year started strongly with January and February with admissions to UK cinemas being 20 per cent up on the previous year driven by the continued performance of the 2019 releases of Little WomenStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Jumanji: The Next Level, alongside early 2020 new releases such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Bad Boys for Life, and 2020’s highest grossing film, 1917.  In March all cinemas were required to close and only started to reopen in July, some four months later.  Christopher Nolan’s Tenet was eagerly awaited by industry and audiences and with other releases including After We Collided, The New Mutants and Bill and Ted Face the Music, attracted 5 million admissions during the July to September Q3.  The final three months of the year saw cinemas close for periods including all cinemas in England from 5 November, limiting admissions and box office earnings.  Cats & Dogs: Paws Unite!Wonder Woman 1984 and the UK independent film Saint Maud were all released during Q4 helping to attract 3 million admissions, 94 per cent down on the same period in 2019.

Collectively, films on release in UK cinemas in 2020 attracted 44 million admissions, a long way off the UK’s consistently annual high admissions levels of between 171 million and 177 million (2017-2019) generated when all cinemas were fully open.    Total box office revenue for all titles released was £307 million, again 75 per cent down on 2019’s earnings of £1.254 billion.

Out of the new 2020 film releases at the UK and Republic of Ireland box office,seven of the top 20 box office releases had substantial UK production involvement led by Sam Mendes’s 1917, a UK/USA production, as year’s top grossing film with £44 million, Tenet, Dolittle, The Gentlemen and The Personal History of David Copperfield.  Also, ranked is the UK films Emma and Military Wives.

The top ten grossing UK qualifying independent films released in 2020 were The Gentlemen, Emma, The Personal History of David Copperfield, Military Wives, Saint Maud, The Secret GardenMisbehaviour, Pixie, The Rhythm Section and Rocks. 

The film market share of newly released independent UK films at the UK and Republic of Ireland box office in 2020 was 14 per cent, a slight increase from 13 per cent in 2019.  When UK-made, studio-backed films are added to the picture, eg, 1917, Tenet, Dolittle, The Gentlemen, The Personal History of David Copperfield, the full UK market share increases to 46 per cent.
