In the mid-1980s the British film industry was in a parlous state. The number of films produced in the UK was tiny. Cinema attendance had dipped to an all-time low, cinema buildings were in a state of disrepair and home video had yet to flourish. Since then, while many business challenges - especially for independent producers and distributors - remain, the industry overall has developed beyond recognition. This book portrays the visionaries and officials who were at the helm as a digital media revolution began to reshape the industry.
