The Research and Statistics Unit
Our Research and Statistics Unit provides market information to market participants and evidence for the development of policy and strategy.
Our Research and Statistics Unit (RSU) provides research data and market intelligence to anyone with an interest in the UK film industry and film culture. The Unit also exists to improve the BFI's understanding of the economic and social context of film production, distribution, exhibition and ancillary markets (e.g. video/DVD, TV).
We aim:
- To gather and maintain up-to-date market intelligence on film in the UK and internationally, and respond to enquiries about the data.
- To undertake research projects to support and inform BFI's strategic development.
- To disseminate research and market intelligence to interested stakeholders, including government departments, the film industry, the wider research community and the media.
- To develop strong links, and effective working relationships, with UK and international stakeholders.
