The lottery and the British film industry

The government are planning to put approximately £300 million pounds of British lottery money into film in the upcoming years. As a film lover, I should be happy about this. But I'm not. This is being done simply to produce more money and boost the economy. 'Art' is being produced for the economy. Art is supposed to be done for Art's sake. It should not be exploited. The result of this will most likely be various releases of cliché British films, with no significant message or ideology to project onto film.
