  • The Box Office Performance of European Films in the UK
    The box office performance of European films in the UK Huw David Jones University of York, UK Abstract European films accounted for 17.4% of UK cinema releases in the period 2002-14, but only 1.8% of the gross box office. Drawing on box office data, audience surveys and interviews with industry players, this article argues that European films generally perform badly in the UK box office because they suffer from a heavy 'cultural discount' and structural weaknesses at the level of production and distribution. Those European films which do 'breakout' are either English-language films with qualities designed to appeal to a mainstream British audience (e.g. stars and special effects) or foreign language films with cultural elements (e.g. well-known story, director, genre, subject matter or source material) which many British cinemagoers are already familiar with. Breakout European films are also mainly released by Hollywood studios or major independent distributors. These findings provide insights into academic and policy debates about the transnational circulation of film and other media products. Introduction Britain’s historic decision to leave the European Union (EU) in the referendum on 23 June 2016 took many political commentators, pollsters and members of the public by surprise. Yet if we see engagement with European film as a broader indicator of pro- European sentiment, then perhaps the result is less surprising.1 According to the UK Film Council (UKFC)/British Film Institute’s (BFI) Statistical Yearbooks (2003-14), European films averaged 17.4% of UK cinema releases in the period 2002-14, but accounted for only 1.8% of the gross box office (figure 1) – the lowest market share for European films in the EU28 (MEDIA Salles 2012).

  • Candidate Hub: a Manifesto on Voter Apathy
    Candidate Hub: a manifesto on voter apathy Voter apathy in the United Kingdom is an ever-increasing feature of our once highly- regarded democracy.1 Low election turnouts due to voter apathy are a cause of concern in the UK. General Election turnouts have fallen from 77.7% to 65.1% between 1992 and 2010, with the projections for 2015 looking worse again.2 Low turnouts are indicative of failing democracies and result in unequal representation. In the UK, there is a genuine disconnect between people and the policies that affect their lives. This cannot be allowed to continue. 1 - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/apathy-alienation-how-disengaged-four-in- ten-voters-reject-all-parties-8940389.html 2 - http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/nov/16/uk-election-turnouts-historic Candidate Hub 2014 - to contact us, email [email protected] 1 Candidate Hub In 2012, the Manchester Central by-election attracted a turnout of only 18%. Although by- elections are expected to have low turnouts, due to a lack of public awareness and media attention, 18% is the lowest turnout for any election in Post-War Britain.3 This result follows the constituency’s general election turn-out of just 44.3% in 2010, the lowest in the UK.4 There has obviously been some disconnect between the people of this constituency and the parties and candidates vying to represent them. The Guardian interviewed some young people in the Manchester Central constituency to inquire about their lack of participation, one respondent replied that he wouldn’t vote because he didn’t “know much about politics”.5 The problem might not be solved easily, but more has to be done.
