BBC Films is the feature film-making arm of the BBC. It has produced or co-produced some of the most successful British films of recent years, including Stage Beauty, A Cock and Bull Story and Match Point. It currently produces approximately eight films per year.

Up until 2007, BBC Films was ran and funded as a private company, with its own offices (in Mortimer Street around the corner from Broadcasting House), while still under the full control of the BBC. A recent re-structure of the division has seen it re-integrated into the main BBC Fiction department of BBC Vision, under the ultimate control of Jane Tranter. As a result, it has moved out of its independent offices into Television Centre and its head, David M. Thompson, has left to start his own film production company.
