Isabel Davis is Head of International at the BFI. She has spent much of the last three years building relations between the UK and Chinese film industries, including helping bring the UK China Coproduction treaty into force. Isabel transferred to the BFI in April 2011 after joining the UK Film Council in late 2006. She combines an editorial role in the Film Fund with responsibility for the BFI’s international strategy, coordinating the full range of the organisation’s activity. She plays a key role in the negotiation of coproduction treaties and maintains and fosters co-production relationships with all of the UK’s partner countries. Prior to joining the UK Film Council, Isabel was Head of Development at HomeRun, during which time she developed a slate of film and TV projects. Before working in film, Isabel worked in various roles in theatre and the performing arts, including press, fundraising and general management.
