I'll add more to this another time, but a quick note on the growing significance of the UK-Indian film scene, which isn't necessarily limited to Bollywood style productions - indeed, there is a question over whether the dominant social realist tradition of UK film-making may be gaining some influence on the sub-continent through the rising number of productions shot in the UK.
Have a look at http://www.iefilmi.co.uk/film-bazar/film-funds though you'll also find detailed analysis in a variety of Film Guardian articles with a quick search.
This blog explores US influence (financial + cultural), Anglocentric (ie, primarily English) representations, digitisation, ownership, industry developments, audience, media theories, tracking key news + events, with Film/Media A-Level/undergrad students + educators in mind. Examples often include Sheffield's Warp (Indie) and London/LA-based Working Title (NBC-Universal subsidiary), ie This is England/Four Lions v Bridget Jones/Green Zone!
