BBC Film co-produces around eight films a year, working in partnership with major international and UK distributors. Eva Yates is head of BBC Film, responsible for the development and production slate, strategy and business operations.[6]

The company was founded in 1990 by Mark Shivas as part of the Drama Department, with David M. Thompson becoming its head in 1997 as a wholly owned but independent film-making company, based in offices in Mortimer Street, London. A restructuring in 2007 integrated it 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.[7] BBC Film has been based at Broadcasting House in London since 2013.[8] The company changed its name to BBC Film in 2020.[9][10]
