- Abstract
The article discusses the development of avant-garde and experimental motion pictures in Great Britain. It focuses on the public funding for independent and nonfeature film production of the British Film Institute's Production Board called the Experimental Film Fund. It explains that the British Film Institute became an important center for programs and publications that aims to create awareness on the value of films as entertainment and instruction. The author mentions that the development of a film movement requires a cultivation of audience for a one-off event or series of events.
