It introduced a requirement for British cinemas to show a quota of British films, for a duration of 10 years. Initially this was 7.5% for exhibitors, which was raised to 20% in 1935 . It was later blamed for the emergence of the 'quota quickie'—a low cost, poor quality film made only to satisfy the quota. The Act was modified by the Cinematograph Films Act 1938 and further acts, and eventually repealed by the Films Act 1985 . REFERENCES
