"Noel Clarke has expressed his anger at the decision to close down the UK Film Council. Clarke told Digital Spy that he is &amp;quot;not happy&amp;quot; about the plans, announced on Monday by Department of Culture, Media and Sport secretary Jeremy Hunt, to axe the funding body that supports the British film industry. &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s a very short-sighted, rash decision by a man who hasn&amp;#039;t looked at his DVD collection and seen how many films in his collection have been made by the Film Council,&amp;quot; he said. Clarke wrote, directed and starred in Brit movies Adulthood and 4.3.2.1.
