Anatomy of a Distributor: Dogwoof

We’ve reached a watershed moment for documentary in the UK. What used to be a niche genre within cultural cinema exhibition now consistently draws large audiences and delivers significant takings at the box office. Pioneering distributor Dogwoof have been instrumental in the growth of the audience for documentary film  with hit after hit in the last 18 months - including Three Identical Strangers, Apollo 11, Oscarwinner Free Solo and Marianne & Leonard.

This session, chaired by Rowan Woods (Film Programme Manager, British Council), will examine Dogwoof’s history, strategy and titles, and take an in-depth look at Apollo 11 with Dogwoof’s Marcel Karst (Head of Theatrical Sales), Oli Harbottle (Head of Distribution and Acquisitions) and Droo Padhiar (Marketing Manager).
