History
BSAC was the successor to the Interim Action Committee on the Film Industry, administered under the auspices of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). Initially it did 'enjoy limited facilities through the DTI, including secretarial assistance.[2] This support was withdrawn in July 1986 as 'a consequence of the Government's wish to leave the BSAC to handle its own affairs'.[3]
In 2014, following the death of Richard Attenborough, founder Member and long standing Board Member Michael Deeley was appointed to the post of Honorary President.[4]
