The British Film Institute (BFI) has unveiled a new venture called BFI America, which boasts high-profile board members such as Barbara Broccoli and Terry Gilliam on its team.
The British Film Institute (BFI) plans to make a strong presence in Los Angeles later this month, marking the 90th anniversary of their National Archive – one of the oldest and most valuable film and television collections globally. On April 23rd, they will officially debut BFI America during their celebratory event.
The rebranded organization, previously known as Friends of the British Film Institute (BFI America), will actively support the initiatives of BFI both domestically and globally. This includes crucial preservation and restoration tasks undertaken by the BFI National Archive, as well as nurturing the long-standing alliance between the BFI and the dynamic U.S. film industry and community.
The group of board members encompasses individuals such as the former James Bond producer Broccoli, director Gilliam, Colin Walsh, founder of Varo Money Inc., Deborah Schindler who is a producer, Penelope Wong, a producer and marketing specialist, and Dr. Mali Heled Kinberg from UCLA.
After next week’s debut, the TCM Classic Film Festival (April 24th through the 27th) will feature six films from the BFI National Archive’s collection, one of which is an immaculate original British release dye-transfer Technicolor print of Jaws.
Additional films to be featured are “Blithe Spirit,” a 1945 film directed by David Lean, “Edge of the City” (1957), helmed by Martin Ritt, “Mildred Pierce” (1945) from Michael Curtiz, “The Private Life of Henry VIII” (1933) produced by Alexander Korda, and “To Be or Not to Be” (1942) directed by Ernst Lubitsch.
Ben Roberts, BFI’s CEO, remarked that the U.K. and the U.S. have strong and diverse ties in cinema. He expressed enthusiasm about showcasing our ongoing cultural exchange by presenting outstanding films from the BFI National Archive to American spectators.
