Following a review of the: film infrastructure in England during 2000, the——UK Film Council set up nine Regional Screen Agencies, one in each of the regions of England, to deliver support for film-making, exhibition and "related media activities." The regional screen agency network was closed down in 2011, "with a number of services consolidated into a new agency," Creative England, and the "majority of screen agencies then folded." However, a few continued to operate, most notably Film London and Screen Yorkshire.
The nine agencies were. Or are:
- Screen East (East of England)
- (East Midlands)
- Film London (Greater London)
- Northern Film and Media, relaunched in 2022 as North East Screen (North East England)
- Vision+Media (North West England)
- Screen South (South East England)
- South West Screen (South West England)
- Screen West Midlands (West Midlands)
- Screen Yorkshire (Yorkshire and the Humber)
