Film.

Light in the darkness—there’s a lot more than Harry Potter to contemporary British film.

From dynamic box office hits to challenging, thriving independent cinema, the variety of the UK’s cultural landscape is up there on the screen for all to see.  Whether you’re looking for wickedly funny black comic gems, meditations on cross-cultural young love, or gritty explorations of the woes of immigrants, British film has its (camera) eye on the here and now.
