Daniels added that under the new UK government, the creative industry was chosen as one of eight higher growth priorities. Creative industries in the United Kingdom generate 125 billion pounds ($ 162 billion) of revenue annually and constitute the third largest source of creative services in the world behind the United States and Ireland. This is the first delegation in the UK for Daniels to Filmart since the epidemic.
Daniels said: “On our part of the government, we have nothing to sell like the BBC, but what we have is the duty to try to make the conditions easier for everyone, so that it removes the largest possible number of regulatory burdens on all sides,” Daniels said. “For example, what I mentioned about tax credits, it was designed to create growth and designed to open the UK market to global joint production.”
Daniels also stated that 4.8 billion pounds (6.2 billion dollars) in the production of films and television in the United Kingdom was on internal investment and joint production in 2024. The new credit for film tax in the United Kingdom (IFTC) will be, at a net rate of 39.75 %, also available from April 1 of this year to films up to budgets of up to 15 million pounds that meets The criteria for the new BFI BECTION program.

Grace Carley, CEO of the UK Export Export Company, which currently represents 28 companies selling independent feature films at the international level, have admitted that they are still a very difficult environment for UK sales companies to carry out business in China. She noted that her film accompanying the UK delegation to Filmart may diminish.
“It has been very difficult to sell it, especially in China, over the past five or six years, but I think it is with more joint production, partnership and cooperation, this will be more likely,” Carly said. “Part of this is due to the fact that China has such wonderful offers.”
Some of the UK sales agents present in Filmart include height, Alliance Media partners, filmmakers, Jinga Films, Screenbound and Kaleidoscope films.
Carly still hopes that a larger delegation will come to Filmart next year, and the most prominent opportunities for Chinese and UK companies to work together.
“It is also a matter of release in the UK – for us to get more Chinese products in the UK – which will really help us understand what succeeds in China,” added Carly.
“We look forward to further cooperation between Peliple and all kinds of production houses, broadcasters and companies throughout the UK to learn more of the capabilities of internationalization,” said Cora Chang, Deputy General Manager and Head of Realistic Content, told Bilbele.
“We also welcome more British content to China to satisfy our users,” Zhang added.
