Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and constitution of the British Film Institute (BFI), formed in the context of the 1932 Sunday Entertainments Act that set up a Cinematograph Fund to encourage cinema development. The author, Walter Ashley, explores the original proposal for a National Film Institute, its aims, and the opposition it faced from the film industry. He analyzes the BFI's registered constitution, noting the significant influence of the film industry in its formation and how it restricted the BFI's powers. Ashley argues that the BFI, as constituted, cannot fulfill the original vision of an independent body working for the improvement of film standards and the promotion of its educational and cultural value. The book sheds light on the ongoing debate about the role of commercial interests in shaping the film industry and the challenges faced by independent organizations seeking to promote cinematic progress.
