The BBC makes an important contribution to film in the UK. The BBC Board is responsible for ensuring the BBC meets the requirements set in the Charter and Framework Agreement, including those on support for film production.

The British Film Institute releases information on Public Investment in Film in the UK and the financial contribution of organisations including the BBC. In 2017/18, BBC Films contributed £11.3m to the public funding available for UK film production.
