FilmDoo.com is a UK-based video-on-demand (VOD) platform that specialises in independent and world cinema.
Described by Guy Lodge of The Guardian as "one of the more discerning new streaming services on the block,"[1] the platform has received media attention for giving international releases to films that had previously received no home video distribution.[2][3]
FilmDoo has partnered with online film festivals, including UniFrance's MyFrenchFilmFestival.com[4] and the ArteKino Festival,[5] and over 50 distributors, including Peccadillo Pictures, Film Movement and Third Window Films.[6] The platform has also compiled and distributed various short film compilations, including gay- and lesbian-themed compilations from the New Queer Visions festival strand.[7][8]
FilmDoo has been elected secretary of EuroVoD, a network of European Video on Demand platforms specialising in art-house films and independent cinema.[9]
Representatives of FilmDoo have spoken and presented at events hosted by various festivals and organisations, including the 77th Venice International Film Festival,[10] 2018 Cannes Film Festival,[11] Berlin's European Film Market,[12] Trieste Film Festival,[13] Thessaoniki International Film Festival,[14] Odesa International Film Festival,[15] the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival[16] and European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs.[17]
In recent years, the company has seen an expansion into online education, launching two video-based learning platforms in 2021, named FilmDoo Academy and FilmDoo Language Learning.[18] Representatives of FilmDoo have since presented at edtech and education events organised by groups as the British Council in Indonesia[19] and the Language Flagship in the United States.[20]
