BBC Film (formerly BBC Films) is the feature film-making arm of the BBC. It was founded on 18 June 1990,[5] 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[citation needed]. 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.[6] BBC Film has been based at Broadcasting House in London since 2013.[7] The company changed its name to BBC Film in 2020.[8][9]
In 2022[update] Eva Yates became head of BBC Film, responsible for the development and production slate, strategy and business operations.[10]
