| General info : | | Filmfour was the business name of Filmfour Ltd., a film production currently doing business as Film4 Productions.
Film4 Productions is a British film production company owned by Channel Four Television Corporation. The company has been responsible for backing many films made in the United Kingdom. The company's first production was Walter, directed by Stephen Frears, which was released in 1982. It is especially known for its gritty, kitchen sink-style films and period drama.
Prior to 1998, the company was identified as Channel Four Films or FilmFour International.
Later, the outfit was re-branded as FilmFour, to coincide with the launch of a new Digital TV channel of the same name.
The company cut its budget and staff significantly in 2002, due to mounting losses, and was reintegrated into the drama department of Channel 4. The name "Film4 Productions" was introduced in 2006 to tie in with the relaunch of the FilmFour broadcast channel as Film4.
Tessa Ross was head of both Film4 and Channel 4 drama from 2002 to 2014. | |
