The whole industry certainly does NOT want Battsek. There are many better independent candidates. The UKFC was dismantled because of its profligate spending and arrogance. Till as ex chair is wholly arrogant, and fortunately deluded, to think that the appointment of the new Head is in his gift. Till and Berger like Battsek come from the studio system and would endorse one of theirs. The BFI Film Fund with its limited funds can not hope to emulate the Studios - it needs an inspired head to do what the Brits do best - make independent films.
