About Us


The British Association for Screen Entertainment (BASE), previously known as the British Video Association (BVA) has a proud heritage representing the interests of publishers and rights-owners of pre-recorded filmed entertainment for the past 40 years. 

In a world of evolving technology and fluid consumer behaviour, the primary objective of the British Association for Screen Entertainment is to champion the growth of screen entertainment across disc and digital, while maintaining a business environment with the fewest regulatory burdens.

Our members already represent the vast majority of this £3.3 billion video market alongside affiliate and associate members from a host of critical industry stakeholders. We welcome new members from across the audio-visual ecosystem, from smaller independents to established players, through to service providers, broadcast platforms and more, offering flexibility through tiered levels of membership to suit different needs.
