National Film Agencies are government bodies responsible for promoting and regulating the film industry within a country. They often provide funding, support for filmmakers, and resources for film production, distribution, and exhibition. These agencies aim to enhance the cultural significance of cinema and ensure that local films reach wider audiences. In addition to financial support, National Film Agencies may also implement policies to protect and promote national cinema. They often collaborate with international film organizations and festivals to showcase local talent and foster global partnerships. Examples include the British Film Institute in the UK and Film France in France.
