British and Dominions Film Corporation

British and Dominions Film Corporation was a short-lived British film production company located at Imperial Place, Elstree Way, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. The studio had its home base at British and Dominions Imperial Studios then relocated to Pinewood Studios.^[1]

The company was dominated by the producer and director Herbert Wilcox. The company gained a contract to make quota films for release by the British subsidiary of Paramount Pictures.

The company was formed in the 1920s between Herbert Wilcox and Nelson Keys.

The company struggled to distribute films in Europe.^[2] In August 1933 it was called "easily the most active of British productionists at the moment."^[3]

In December 1939 the company reported a loss of £8,000.^[4]
