Welcome to launchingfilms.tv,
a Film Distributors’ Association (FDA) microsite where you can explore the essential life of a film after its production phase.

What happens to a film when the producers and director have completed it? How does it get into cinemas and how do audiences become aware of it and interested in seeing it?

This dedicated site takes you under the skin of the film business to answer those questions and more. You’ll discover in some detail how films are launched by the distributors who handle their cinema release. You can watch some film distributors talk about aspects of their work in the UK, and there’s a generic guide to UK distribution to download (PDF) and keep.

Go to FDA’s main site www.launchingfilms.com for info on work placements in UK film distribution, the origins of UK film distribution, today’s digital distribution, and much more.
