Appointed to the review by Minister for the Creative Industries, Ed Vaizey, Chris Smith will chair an eight-strong independent panel of film industry experts, including Oscar® winner Lord Julian Fellowes and representatives from the new Board of the British Film Institute (BFI), which recently became the lead body for the delivery of film policy in the UK.

Lord Smith and the panel are expected to report by the end of the year. They will look across the UK film industry considering film development and production, distribution and exhibition, and inward investment.
