The British Film Institute, the government-backed educational and archival film and television body, on Wednesday appointed four new members to its board of governors, including director Stephen Frears. In addition to Frears (Dirty Pretty Things), the appointees are Tim Angel, chairman of Angels Theatrical Costumiers; Lizzie Francke, independent producer and former director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival; and Roger Laughton, former broadcaster and Bournemouth University media school chief. The body's 15-member board is chaired by writer-broadcaster Joan Bakewell. The new governors replace director Terry Gilliam, Southern England Arts board director Jean Young, Cobalt Pictures co-founder Rodney Payne and film critic/broadcaster Alan Frank, who step down immediately.
