Channel Four Films and the Industrial Context

At the top end C4 films were cost £500k-£600k. This compared to the normally funded feature films of the time which typically cost around £3-4 million. Until 1985 C4 films proved attractive to filmmakers and producers. here was a generous system of tax write offs against production costs in which costs could be written off against profits straight away whilst films not initially targeted at TV had their cost written off over several years. Niger Lawson has a budget of 1985 to reduce tax shelter as the government sought to ensure that the film-making business got its share.   

Introduction

Channel Four became the fourth terrestrial channel in 1982. It had a brief for  showing a range of cutting edge materials which were very different to what was being shown on other channels. British film became a huge beneficial of this policy and many films were made which appealed to quite different audiences. Many of these films became some of the best known and most financial success films in British cinema since 1982. This shows what a influence C4 has had as it has now been operating for over 25 years. By 1984 C4 had co-produced over 20 feature films for the special slot Film on Four.
