From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EMI Films is a British film and television production company and distributor. The company was formed after the takeover of Associated British Picture Corporation in 1968 by EMI.

Its major successes as a film producer include the 1978 Academy Award for Best Picture winner The Deer Hunter.

It sold its film library to Cannon in 1986, and continued to produce films until 1990. The film library is now owned by StudioCanal. EMI Films also owned Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire, England, prior to them being purchased by the Cannon Group in 1986.
