The British film industry controls a powerful medium that tells British stories, and shapes how the British view themselves, how the world may see them, and how they perceive the world. It shows reflections on and explorations of British Life and the life of other nations from a British perspective.

​

In recent years British film has become confident expanding its range of cultural experiences to include a wider selection of ethnic, gender and cultural groupings and as such is promoting the diversity of regional identities and from this diversity is offering a more representative and inclusive national identity.
