Creative England

Creative England opened for business on 1 October 2011, with the core purpose of supporting the sustainable growth of independent creative businesses, and the talent that feeds them, in every part of England outside London. 

This new organisation builds on the work of the Regional Screen Agencies that, for the past ten years, have assisted the development of the film, TV, interactive, games and digital media industries, and the growth of film culture in England.  

One of our first objectives is to establish a new infrastructure for film in the English regions, to ensure continuity and lay the foundations for the development and sustainability of a vibrant film and moving image culture outside London.

We will endeavour to:

• Ensure that the best film talent is supported, by developing creative talent and distinctive voices
• Nurture film culture, increasing choice and growing audiences, supporting innovative approaches to exhibition and distribution of film, with a focus on film heritage, film festivals and film archive
• Help maximise inward investment, attracting and supporting film production in the English regions

But that’s not all we’ll do. 

As well as supporting Film, Creative England will also support Television, Games, and Digital and Creative Services, making us the first joined up, dedicated support agency for the creative industries outside London. We'll be launching our new Digital Champions scheme in Spring 2012, so make sure you sign up to receive our latest news.

TEMPORARY WEBSITE - We’ll soon be developing a whole new online presence… so please bear with us!
