Film director Danny Boyle has expressed a lack of confidence in the achievements of the British film industry at an event at the BFI Southbank in London.

In remarks reported by the Daily Mail, Boyle said: “It’s a terrible thing to say at the home of British film but I am not sure we are great film-makers, to be absolutely honest.”
