Film Council appoint 'arthouse tsar'
Former FilmFour deputy chief executive Peter Buckingham has been appointed as head of the Film Council's new distribution and exhibition fund.
Designed to boost the exhibition of arthouse films in the UK, the fund will have a budget of £14 million over the next four years to create a virtual circuit of screens showing arthouse films.
Films playing on the circuit will be centrally booked from London, while the screens will be leased from existing exhibitors. The move is part of a Film Council plan to boost the market for foreign language and arthouse UK films in the country.
In a further appointment, Steve Perrin, currently head of the Film Council's Research and Statistics Unit, will move across to the new distribution and exhibition fund as its deputy head.
