3) What is the 'cultural test' to see if a film counts as British?

4) Complete the task on the Factsheet, researching the films listed and finding out what they score on the cultural test: Sweeney, Attack The Block, The King's Speech, We Need To Talk About Kevin and Skyfall.

5) What is the main problem for the British film industry?

6) What are three of the strengths of the British film industry?
