  • Channel 4 and British Film: an Assessment Of
    Channel 4 and British Film: An Assessment of Industrial and Cultural Impact, 1982-1998 Laura Mayne This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2014 i Abstract This thesis is an historical investigation of Channel 4’s influence on the British film industry and on British film culture between 1982 and 1998. Combining archival research with interview testimony and secondary literature, this thesis presents the history of a broadcaster’s involvement in British film production, while also examining the cultural and industrial impact of this involvement over time. This study of the interdependence of film and television will aim to bring together aspects of what have hitherto been separate disciplinary fields, and as such will make an important contribution to film and television studies. In order to better understand this interdependence, this thesis will offer some original ideas about the relationship between film and television, examining the ways in which Channel 4’s funding methods led to new production practices. Aside from the important part the Channel played in funding (predominantly low-budget) films during periods when the industry was in decline and film finance was scarce, this partnership had profound effects on British cinema in the 1980s and 1990s. In exploring these effects, this thesis will look at the ways in which the film funding practices of the Channel changed the landscape of the film industry, offered opportunities to emerging new talent, altered perceptions of British film culture at home and abroad, fostered innovative aesthetic practices and brought new images of Britain to cinema and television screens.

Channel 4 has long had a productive relationship with Europe through its film sponsorship practices. In creating the Film on Four strand, the channel’s Chief Executive Jeremy Isaacs was very much influenced by European examples of broadcasters funding films for television and theatrical release, while the channel also entered into many co-productions involving European producers and broadcasters throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

  • Broadcasters Support Filmmakers
    Channel 4: Broadcasters Support Filmmakers By Gerald Pratley Fall 1996 Issue of KINEMA A DISCUSSION at the Vancouver Film Festival 1995 Among the many discussions taking place during the Trade Forum at Vancouver’s International Film Festival was a rapt and lively presentation of how Broadcasters Support Filmmakers. The principal speaker was David Aukin of Channel Four who was introduced by Wayne Skeene, President of Skeene Communications in Vancouver. WS: David Aukin is a Commissioning Editor and Head of Drama for Channel 4, that ”idiosyncratic little company” as Variety puts it, ”that defies all the rules of Hollywood.” The New York Times calls David ”arguably the most influential figure in the British film industry.” The Daily Telegraph calls him ”The Sun King of the Silver Screen” and there’s more: ”The mastermind behind the largest filmmaking budget in Britain.” David studied law at Oxford, worked for a period as a solicitor, made a career change to theatre in 1970 when he became literary adviser to the Traverse Theatre Club in Edinburgh, and before he joined Channel 4 in October 1990, David had been the Executive Director of the National Theatre for four years. As Commissioning Editor for Channel 4’s Film on Four he has been responsible for more than 50 feature films, some partly, others fully financed by Channel 4. In May [1995] his budget was increased fromœ12 million to œ16 million, enabling him to produce 18 movies a year. To those of you who have been living in dark caves these past thirteen years, Channel 4 has not only transformed the British industry, but many feel that it has now set the world model for independent film production in the 21st century.

    Peter Ansorge, 7/06/11 Peter Ansorge was a commissioning editor (Fiction) and Head of Drama (Serials and Series) at Channel 4, 1982-1997. Interviewers: Sally Shaw, Justin Smith, Laura Mayne & Ieuan Franklin [Rachael Keene also present]. SS: OK, hello, I was going to ask you about Black Xmas and Empire Road because that’s my specific…research…so the first thing I’d like to ask you is how you met Michael Abbensetts. PA: Well uh I uh before I went to Pebble Mill as a script editor, I was an editor of a theatre magazine called Plays and Players , and we published a new play every month. And one of the plays that we had published just before I left was a play by Michael, called Sweet Talk , which was done at the Theatre Upstairs [at the Royal Court Theatre], with Stephen Frears directing. And after about a year at Pebble Mill I bumped into Michael on Oxford Street, we had a little chat and um I told him about what I was doing. And he said well can I send you an idea? I said yes, as long as it’s contemporary and it’s set outside London, because that’s our brief. And he phoned me up I think probably the next day and said I want to write about a black family in Birmingham at Xmas. And that was the origins of the idea. I was a script editor then and I went to Tara Prem, who was a producer there [at Pebble Mill] on the Second City Firsts strand, of original new writing.
