The Films Branch has general responsibility for the commercial and industrial aspects of the film industry. One of its main tasks is the administration of the Cinematograph Films Acts, 1938 and 1948 (the " Quota Acts ") ; this involves enforcement of the quota and other regulations in relation to the distribution and exhibition of films. The Branch deals with general questions concerning the production of films in this country, particularly those which involve facilities to increase British production. (In this context the Branch has general responsibility for the Film Finance Corporation). The Branch also gives assistance to British producers in exporting their films. It is responsible for film import policy (including the Anglo-American Film Agreement of March, 1948), and for liaison with the Foreign Exchange Control on this Agreement and on other matters relating to film import and exports. It is also concerned with the manufacture of cinematograph film stock and with film processing laboratories.
