Statistical Yearbook 10
The UK Film Council's 2010 Statistical Yearbook offers the most comprehensive and accessible picture of film anywhere in the UK
The UK Film Council's 2010 Statistical Yearbook is published as a fully digital and searchable website for the first time. It offers the most comprehensive and accessible picture of film anywhere in the UK, and it can be found at http://SY10.ukfilmcouncil.ry.com/.
The new-look Statistical Yearbook is an even more accessible, open and valuable resource – one which can be shared with the widest possible audience and which, depending on your needs, can be explored online, downloaded or printed either in whole or in part. The search facility and the More Info section allow you to navigate the Yearbook with real ease, while the Links section takes you to related content and further helpful information. Each chapter has its own headline page, comprising all the relevant key facts and data – you can then explore each chapter, section by section.
In addition to these developments, regular readers of the Yearbook will notice some extra features this year, all of them in response to user feedback:
- Details of the production and performance of UK independent films;
- A 10-year time series of the performance of specialised films at the UK box office (Chapter 5);
- The box office performance of UK films in Japan and Korea (Chapter 6);
- A chart of UK admissions going back 75 years (1935–2009 inclusive) for historical comparative purposes (Chapter 1); and
- A new chapter on film education, gathering for the first time the available statistics on film education at school, university and in the community. It is intended that this will serve as the basis for wider coverage of the cultural aspects of film in the future.
The sheer breadth and depth of statistics contained here highlight once again the growing value of the UK film industry, the enduring strength of our creative talent and the vital role that films and film culture play in the life of millions of people up and down the UK.
