The company was founded in 1990 byMark Shivasas part of the Drama Department, withDavid M. Thompsonbecoming 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 ofBBC Vision.As a result, it moved out of its independent offices intoBBC Television Centre,and Thompson left to start his own film production company.[7]BBC Film has been based atBroadcasting Housein London since 2013.[8]The company changed its name to BBC Film in 2020.[9][10]
