Dogwoof has announced an exciting new partnership with the educational charity Film Club for ten Dogwoof titles to be added to the Film Club screening roster. With a network of 7000 participating schools, this means Dogwoof's films will be discovered and enjoyed by a whole new generation of filmgoers.

CEO of Film Club Mark Higham:”Film Club is delighted to be working in partnership with Dogwoof. Film is a uniquely powerful medium that can open up the world to young people and change the ways they see themselves, their peers and community. Dogwoof's commitment to quality documentaries that inspire creativity, thought and change means their films are a very valuable addition to our curated catalogue. Through its website and engaged network of 7000 schools, Film Club encourages young people to discover films they might not otherwise have the chance to see. Together we look forward to developing new audiences for documentary film.
