The British Council Film department promotes contemporary and innovative UK film to audiences around the world, working in both lead and supporting roles on showcases, workshops, festivals, conferences, tours, residences and virtual projects. We also collaborate with artists and other cultural organisations, building skills, capacity and cultural awareness, creating access to audiences and markets, and promoting international partnership and creative exchange.

Our film-related activities cover a number of different areas: Animation, Documentaries, Features, Interactive Leisure software and Short Films. We have overviews of each of these areas as well as details of what we do to promote and support filmmakers and media professionals in each of these activities. You'll also find the latest news and events related to each activity.
We have an extensive range of film publications and resources. The British Films Catalogue and the Directory of International Film, Video and Television Festivals are both available in print and online. Also online is a directory of British film directors. You'll find a set of forms for submitting entries for inclusion to these directories (or for amending an existing entry), as well as a film festival submission form if you would like your short film to be considered for submission to international festivals.
