Celebrating Creativity and Innovation between the UK and the US
BritWeek - the Special Relationship
Britain and America enjoy a unique union, a special relationship characterised by decades of shared values and leadership on the world stage.
BritWeek celebrates this relationship and how the creative talent from these two great countries comes together in the unique setting of Hollywood. This is more than just celebrating brilliant Brits or amazing Americans, its about what happens when they come together.
It's what happens when Charlie Chaplin brings his unique talent to shape the film industry, or when Simon Fuller turns Pop Idol into American Idol or when Disney takes Star Wars to Pinewood and reinvents a franchise and spawns a new generation of fans.
The British-American special relationship is about politics, it's about security, it's about music, film and television, it's about visiting each other's countries, studying in them, playing sport in them - NFL games in London, and visiting EPL teams here.
It's about innovation and creativity, it's one million Brits working for American companies and one million Americans working for British companies.
BritWeek celebrates this relationship, it reminds us of the best of both countries and what happens when we join together. It's something special, and something we want you to be part of.
