Ok, let's spare a thought for Daniel Battsek and others who may or may not have applied for this post.

It is a big job and it is filling big shoes - say what you will but the UK Film Council's Film Fund made a demonstrable difference - please note David Cameron.

It is a job that requires understanding of process but importantly understanding of how to work with and support talent and it also requires taste. It is an important job and questionable as to what's taken the BFI so long to get on with reruitment.
