Dogwoof Pictures is a film distributor company working in the United Kingdom. The company releases many films, especially foreign language films, but is perhaps best known for the release of the films Fateless, Viva Zapatero! and EMR, the latter being the first simultaneous release in the UK on Theatrical, DVD and TV.
[edit] History
In July 2005, the company experimented by releasing James Erskine's EMR simultaneously in Cinemas, on the internet through Tiscali ISP, and on DVD through its Home Entertainment division. The move was controversial since most films are released through different distribution channels on a staggered schedule, giving each channel an exclusive release window. Exhibitors were especially fearful, as many feared that they would eventually lose their exclusive release windows for more mainstream films.
[edit] Film Distribution
