The BAFTA Award for Best British Film is given annually by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and presented at the British Academy Film Awards. The award was first given at the 1st British Academy Film Awards, recognising the films of 1947, and lasted until 1968. For over two decades there was not a specific category for British cinema, until it was revived at the 46th British Academy Film Awards, recognising the films of 1992. Its official name is the Alexander Korda Award for Best British Film.
