We are absolutely committed to ensuring that the UK Film Centre continues to reflect the vibrancy and dynamism which is so evident in the  UK film industry today.

CEO of Film London & the British Film Commission Adrian Wootton said: “This is the second year Film London has partnered with Film Export UK to ensure the UK has a valuable and meaningful presence at the Toronto International Film Festival. The significance of Toronto in the international film calendar – both in terms of its film programme and as a place to do business – is steadily growing so it is important that our UK agencies, sales companies and producers continue to collaborate to deliver the Toronto UK Film Centre which gives the international film community a centralised point to do business with the British while in Toronto.”
