Organisation - BBC Films

What does the organisation do?
BBC Films is the film-making branch of the BBC. It works in partnership with the major UK and international distributors, producing around eight films per year. Their website describes their ambitions as "making strong British films" and "finding and developing new talent"

How does this benefit the film industry?
This benefits the film industry because the BBC is a well known company, which is likely to factor in the success of the films it produces.

Some of the films it produced in 2011:
Jane Eyre, Brighton Rock, The Awakening, My Week With Marilyn

Some films it is currently working on:
Streetdance 2, Great Expectations

Do the films have a similar theme, style or target audience?
The films produced in 2011, they do not seem to have a similar target audience however when looking further back at releases from BBC Films it suggests they make a lot of historical dramas; films such as The Other Boleyn Girl, The Duchess and even adaptations of old novels and plays such as Great Expectations and the Coriolanus.
