‘Screen Summit 2025: Building On The UK’s Global Success’ will bring together leading executives and filmmakers for a day of talks and networking to help UK films perform to their highest potential around the world. Conversations will explore the impact of the launch of the Independent Film Tax Credit, how AI is being used (or not), the booming inward investment sector and the efforts being made to create an inclusive, representative, sustainable industry.

There will be panels on:

• Attracting international financing and partners to UK film
• The role of UK talent in the international market
• Trailblazing: experienced UK producers on carving the path to success
• Local heroes: case studies on connecting UK films to audiences
• Ask the experts, featuring leading voices across production sectors

Matt Mueller, Screen International’s editor-in-chief, said: “Following last year’s successful Screen Summit, ‘The Future of UK Film’, we want to dig deeper into the huge success of the UK film industry on the international stage and as an inward-investment destination, balanced against the many challenges that continue to hinder the UK independent production sector from reaching its full potential. We want to survey the opportunities that the introduction of the Independent Film Tax Credit has brought to the film sector, and hear from industry leaders about how they plan to navigate an ever-evolving landscape for film production, finance, sales, distribution and exhibition. We look forward to announcing a range of exciting speakers and panels over the summer leading up to our second Summit on September 30.”

The full line-up of speakers and panels will be announced in the coming weeks.
