The following chapters will explore the cultures of production which shaped, influenced and impacted upon filmmaking in the 1970s. They focus on methods of funding, key personnel, important production companies and crucial industry organisations and institutions. They also consider the influence of the unions, the increasing popularity of television and Britain’s decision to join the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1973 and how all of these factors impacted upon film production. The purpose of these chapters is to suggest the link between, for example, the streams of funding and the texts which emerged, and the attitude of successive governments and the impact this had on the films which were funded and produced. Each chapter will shed light on a different aspect of production and suggest how an exploration of these contextual factors can develop our knowledge of the visual texts which emerge in this specific decade.
