A movie can only be classed as a British film if it passes the culture test where a movie has to score 18points out of a possible 35. It doses this by have British actors in the film, the majority of the crew is British and some of the movie was shot in the UK.
Film makers like there films to be considered British because the BFI will give them special funding for the movie. The BFI only has £26million a year to help films. This is not much for a big budgets film but it can be helpful for small budget films like "Four lions" by vertigo films.
The importance of having the special funding is that we have a big film industry which is good for the UK because it provided more jobs for UK citizens, spread British values and gives money back into the country.
