The UK also fairs well competition in its ability to engage with the global By Emily Eaton economy. However, where the UK fell short was in the lack of public finances available to businesses and the inability of firms to obtain loans. The latter is often cited by business lobby groups as one of the reasons why promoting business growth is difficult in this country. Speaking to The Guardian, a WEF spokesman said; “Where the [UK] falls short is in its macroeconomic environment, where government debt and the budget deficit conspire to place it 108th out of 140 countries. It could do better, too, with the quality of its education system (21st) and maths and 2 science in particular (46th), both long- term problems.” P The report also found a close link between competitiveness and an economy’s ability to nurture, attract, leverage and support talent.

The BFI FAN Film Exhibition Fund supports activity to re-engage audiences with collective, big screen film experiences at film festivals, mixed arts venues, and both community and traditional cinemas around the UK. This particular strand of support has been made available via BFI‘s National Lottery funding to the BFI Film Audience Network (FAN). BFI FAN is a unique collaboration of eight Film Hubs managed by leading film organisations across the UK, who each distribute the funding in their region or nation. The BFI FAN Film Exhibition Fund will enable FAN Members to deliver a broad range of programming once they restart, ensuring excellent British and international independent cinema is available to audiences all over the UK. Other priorities of the fund are incentivising exhibitors to embed inclusion and environmental sustainability into their approach to reopening, post closure during the pandemic restrictions. The BFI FAN Film Exhibition Fund was also supported by a donation from global streaming platform MUBI. The total figure awarded to Film Hub Scotland members of £220,000 includes additional funding from Screen Scotland as announced in early November. Film Hub Wales announced Film Exhibition Fund awards totalling £52,000, also in November.
