Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order modifies the definition of “British film” in Schedule 1 to the Films Act 1985. The purpose of the Order is to modify the points-based “cultural test” inserted by S.I. 2006/643. The test has been re-weighted so that the total number of points that may be awarded in respect of the content of a film has been increased from 4 to 16 (paragraphs 4A(3), 4B(3) and 4C(3) of Schedule 1); the total number of points that may be awarded in respect of the work carried out in the making of a film has been reduced from 15 to 3 (paragraphs 4A(5), 4B(5) and 4C(5) of Schedule 1); the total number of points that may be awarded in respect of the personnel involved in the making of a film has been reduced from 13 to 8 (paragraphs 4A(6), 4B(6) and 4C(6) of Schedule 1); and a new category (paragraphs 4A(4), 4B(4) and 4C(4)) has been introduced allowing up to 4 points to be awarded depending on the contribution a film makes to British culture.
