The British Film Institute is to open a “talent centre” in Brighton and Hove as part of a £5million plan to boost the industry across the country. The City Council is encouraging the BFI to make a base and is searching for an office when they move to the coast in the autumn.

The city will be promoted as a film location. Last year, the BFI launched a multi-million- pound five-year plan to help the British film industry compete more successfully on the global stage.
