	British Films & Tax Relief - UK Film Council
		A film scoring all 15 of the points available in sections C, D and A4, and less than two points in section A1 and less than two points in section A2, must additionally obtain the points in section A3 to pass the cultural test.
		Interim certification before or during production is voluntary, however it is required if a claim for tax relief is being made to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) at the end of an accounting period, before the film is completed.
		Films made as official co-productions are not required to pass the Cultural Test, in addition to the terms of the treaties.

	BBFC @ Filmbug UK
		Home video and cinema versions of a film often receive the same certificate, although occasionally a film may receive a more restrictive certificate for the home video market, as it is easier for children to watch a home video than to be admitted into a cinema.
		The film was released with the equivalent of a 12 certificate in France.
		For cinema releases, the BBFC has no legal power (technically, the film studios do not even have to submit their films for classification), as it falls to the local councils to decide who should be admitted to a certain film.

	British Movies
		The British Board Of Film Censors was founded in 1912 primarily to keep the foreign imports 'genteel', or rather, to be able to control their numbers on the pretext of unsuitability.
		The problem with the British film industry was it did not keep pace with the advances being made abroad and quickly became technically out of date.
		Film censorship discarded some of its old prohibitions, now freer speech was allowed as well as previously taboo subjects like homosexuality, illegitimacy and abortion.

		At British ports, where many of them journeyed in the course of their engagements, it was common for unions of local seafarers to denigrate and despise Indian seamen as cheap coolies who stole jobs that belonged rightfully to white British seamen.
		When the British government took steps in the mid-1930s to subsidize tramp shipping, the labour party and the seamen's union played a major role in ensuring that the subsidy would only go to ships that employed British seamen.
		British Library, Oriental and India office collection (OIOC), L/E/9/974, British ambassador's telegram, 26 July 1945; they came to occupy attention at these exalted levels only because the film artistes' union complained that they had been employed as strike-breakers.

	British Board of Film Classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Interestingly, imported Hollywood films were not treated as strictly as British films, as the BBFC believed that audiences would recognise American cinema as representing a foreign culture, and therefore would not apply any political messages therein to their own lives.
		An extreme example of this is the rating of the horror film Revenge of the Zombies, with a U certificate upon its video release in the late 1990s, whereas, when it was first examined as a film in 1951, it was given one of the first X ratings.
		The film received similar certificates in Ireland (also an 18 certificate) and the United States, but in Australia it was awarded the less restrictive MA certificate.

	screenonline: Political Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Film and politics were entangled almost from the time of the first projections.
		In Britain, an overt politics of cinema emerged in the interwar years, influenced by the experience of propaganda films during World War I, the increasing sophistication and popularity of cinema, the postwar domination of British screens by American films, the early flowering of the Soviet film industry and the blatantly political character of censorship.
		'Substandard' film, as it was called then, was not covered by the regulations for 35mm exhibition and had other advantages in terms of cost and the relative ease of transporting prints and projectors.

	BMA - History of the film competition
		The film committee set up to manage the library and the bureau developed the idea of a film competition in response to their recognition that the library's holdings needed to be developed.
		Funding for the then British Life Insurance Trust for Health Education (BLITHE) was withdrawn in 1989 and the administration of the film library and the competition passed back to the BMA.
		Between 1975 and 1983 the Harold E Lewis Award for Research Films was presented "to encourage the development of new film techniques in the service of medical research." The first recipient was the Westminster Hospital Medical School for their film Extraction of Anaesthetic Gases from Operative Theatres.

		One of the televisual tricks frequently employed in the direction of these histories was the direct 'piece to camera' by one of the historical actors—which, on the one hand, was certainly suspect in terms of language, pronunciation and demeanour; but, on the other, literally gave a voice to traditionally disenfranchised historical actors.
		A social history of the British middle classes over the long twentieth century it drew on the memories and life stories of individuals and families, as well as the talking-head contributions of social historians (Simon Szreter and Simon Gunn amongst them) and commentators to deliver a nuanced narrative of class identity and social structure.
		As much a celebration of the social history of television, it was a chronicle of popular culture delivered in furious, bite-sized, backtrack driven style for an audience desperate to indulge in the fuzzy memories of the near past.

		The British began to withdraw their support, however, after they had annexed the Afrikaner territory of the Transvaal in 1877 and no longer had a need for Zulu allies against the Afrikaners.
		War between the British and the Zulu began in January 1879, with the Zulu forces achieving one significant victory at the Battle of Isandhlwana.
		In the view of the British, he was "a nominal ruler in the hands of the Boer invaders." In 1887, Britain asserted its authority: the Boers dropped their claim on Zululand in exchange for definite borders for their New Republic, and Britain made the remainder of Zululand a British protectorate.

	History of British film certificates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The X certificate was unchanged but renamed 18 due to the lewd reputation that the letter X had acquired.
		The current certificates were all used, though a new Uc certificate was introduced for videos only to indicate a recording that is especially suitable for young children to watch on their own.
		Contray to popular belief, the certificate was not introduced for the film Spider-Man (though it was reclassified to 12A) and followed two years of consultation and a trial in Norwich (during which time the certificate was known as PG-12).
