We are launching Doc Lounge Impact Hub!
Since the very beginning, Doc Lounge has been a release plattform and alternative distribution channel to reach a wider audience for documentaries and a catalyst for local collaboration, discussion and social engagement. We are happy and proud to announce that we are taking the next step. In collaboration with Anna J Ljungmark, co-founder of production company House of Read and leading profile within outreach and impact in Scandinavia, we are expanding our work with innovative distribution to a national level and are launching Doc Lounge Impact Hub. Our goal is to highlight the role of documentary films in society, create synergies between diffierent fields and industries and develop a distribution model that is tailor-made for documentaries by including outreach and impact as a standard.
The project is made possible by funding from Swedish Postcode Foundation, and will run for 18 months, starting August 2018.
We will announce more details closer to project launch, but already now you can read more at our project website or press release (in Swedish).
