EXCLUSIVE: London-based documentary sales and production outfit Dogwoof has acquired worldwide sales rights to Mark Cousins’ 16-part film, The Story Of Documentary Film.
It draws on three decades of research from Cousins and offers an exploration of the documentary form from the dawn of cinema to the present day, encompassing stories from across the globe. Barbara Kopple’s Harlan County, USA, Asif Kapadia’s Amy, Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah, and Agnès Varda’s The Gleaners And I are among the documentaries that Cousins explores.
The acquisition marks Dogwoof’s sixth collaboration with writer-director Cousins, most recently with My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock.
It is also the sixth collaboration with producer John Archer of the UK’s Hopscotch Films, with Dogwoof having recently boarded The Golden Spurtle. US Louverture Films co-produces.
