BBC Film
British film production company
BBC Film (formerly BBC Films) is the feature film-making arm of the BBC. It was founded on 18 June 1990, and has produced or co-produced between eight to fifteen films a year, working in partnership with major international and UK distributors.
Originally based in Mortimer Street, London. The company was founded as a wholly owned but independent film-making company by Mark Shivas as part of the Drama Department. David M. Thompson became its head in 1997.
A restructuring in 2007 integrated BBC Films into the main BBC Fiction department of BBC Vision. As a result, it moved out of its independent offices into BBC Television Centre, and Thompson left to start his own film production company. BBC Film has been based at Broadcasting House in London since 2013. The company changed its name to BBC Film in 2020.
In 2022 Eva Yates became head of BBC Film, responsible for the development and production slate, strategy and business operations.
