BBC Films and Film Four



BBC Films is the feature film-making arm of the BBC. From its first production in 1994 up until 2007, it was run and funded privately whilst still under full control of BBC but it has now been integrated into the BBC Fiction department. They produce approximately 8 films per year.
The most recent productions from them on the big screen were Made In Dagenham and Tamara Drew. A list of their previous releases can be found here.
Many of their productions get co-produced with bigger companies which means a lot of them get far bigger exposure, for example Revolutionary Road (co-production with Dreamworks) and Edge of Darkness (co-production with Warner and Icon).



Film4.svg Film4 Productions is a British film production company owned by Channel 4. The company has been responsible for backing a large number of films made in the United Kingdom. The company's first production was Walter, directed by Stephen Frears, which was released in 1982. The company was originally called Channel 4 Films but was re-branded in 2002 in conjunction with the launch of the digital TV channel Film4.
A list of their productions along with short clips can be found here.
