Zusammenfassung:A comprehensive study of Channel 4's film production, distribution and broadcasting activates from 1982 to 1998Assesses Channel 4's impact on the UK film industry by offering an examination of Film4's role as:A funder and producer: assessing Film4's importance to the industry through a study of its financial and creative relationships with independent production companies like Palace and Working TitleA talent house: discussing the importance of Film4 in working with new and established filmmakers A national and global brand, through a study of its marketing and distribution of films in the UK and overseasThis monograph offers the first ever comprehensive study of Channel 4's film production, distribution and broadcasting activities and represents a significant contribution to British cinema and television history. The importance of Channel 4 to the British film industry over the last 40 years cannot be overstated. The birth of the Channel in 1982 heralded a convergence between the UK film and television sectors which was particularly notable given that the two industries had historically been at loggerheads. In addition to its role as a broadcaster and curator of feature film programming, since its inception Channel 4 has funded or co-funded hundreds of feature films through its film commissioning arm, Film4. The Channel's commitment to financing between 15-20 films per year helped form the backbone of the ailing film sector throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, while Film4 funding has also been instrumental to the success of many companies which have become vital to the British film industry
