The British Film Institute is to create a new streaming service called BFI+, use national lottery funds to invest in film education in schools, and open up access to its research collections via Screen Archive of the Future as part of a new 10-year strategy announced on Friday.

Entitled Screen Culture 2033, the BFI’s plan is designed to “transform access to its unique and valuable collections, cultural and education programmes, and use policy and research work … to build a diverse and accessible screen culture that benefits all of society and contributes to a prosperous UK economy”.
