Women Make Movies and Docuseek
In a new press release, Docuseek and the Woman Make Movies have announced a brand new partnership to gain access to more documentaries for education. Women Make Movies plans on sharing previous award-winning films, new releases, and films never available for streaming before with Docuseek. This new partnership will launch May 1 and will be available for educational streaming exclusively. The additional films added to Docuseek will help their commitment to having more diverse filmmakers in their collection.
Women Make Movies has been supporting and advocating for female filmmakers for over 45 years. Women Make Movies challenges the mainstream media by championing historically overlooked voices. Director of Strategy and Innovation of Women Make Movies, Kendra Hodgson stated in the press release that: "Docuseek has extensive experience in educational streaming distribution and the technology behind it, and they have a reputation of being sensitive and responsive to the unique needs of librarians and faculty members. Equally important to us, they understand and prioritize the needs of filmmakers. It is part of our mission to ensure the voices of diverse women filmmakers are included and featured on major streaming platforms, and we are excited to work with Docuseek to expand the reach and audiences of WMM films.”
While Docuseek is the exclusive educational home of 1800 various titles from Bullfrog Films and Icarus Films. Vice President of Docuseek, LLC, Alex Hoskyns-Abrahall also shared in the same press release: “From support for women filmmakers through to distribution of some of the most powerful documentary films ever made, Women Make Movies is a leader in independent film. The importance of Women Make Movies to the documentary genre and film landscape cannot be overstated. We are thrilled to welcome new distributing partner Women Make Movies to Docuseek."
We at Video Librarian are thrilled to hear about this partnership and look forward to seeing the diverse documentaries that will be added to the service!
