The UK Film Council is to be axed as part of a cost-cutting drive by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
Culture secretary Jeremy Hunt confirmed the move, which is part of a raft of DCMS cost-cutting measures that will see 16 public bodies merged, streamlined or got rid of altogether.
Mr Hunt said: “Many of these bodies were set up a considerable length of time ago, and times and demands have changed.”
