Ken Loach: pouring lottery money into blockbusters is a travesty We do not have, as in other countries in Europe, a wide spread of independent cinemas. Now, unless you can really see a wide variety of films you don't have a vibrant film industry and we get a very narrow menu. Mr Loach, who won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 2006 for The Wind That Shakes the Barley, added: "If you went to an art gallery and you just saw ducks flying into the sunset, you would think that it was a rather limited art gallery - you would want a wide variety of ... paintings. Mr Cameron will announce today that National Lottery money will be directed at "mainstream" films that could become commercial successes, rather than "art house" cinema that generates limited box office sales. A strategy for exporting British film-making expertise will also be announced as part of a drive to exploit the potential of the £40billion industry to create jobs. The Prime Minister will outline the plans during a visit to Pinewood studios in west London, where the next James Bond adventure is being filmed. The proposal to focus lottery money on fims that are likely to be commercially successful films could be criticised by some independent film-makers, who are already aggrieved at the Coalition's decision to abolish the UK Film Council.
