Hoop Dreams is currently touring around UK indie cinemas until the end of November with the last stop at the Sheffield Showroom for their Sheffield Doc Fest monthly series. Thanks to all our partners in helping us release the film including We Are Parable, What is Bobo, Curzon Home Cinema and our social media expert Tiff Milner.
We are very excited to announce our newest acquisition HOOP DREAMS. First exhibited at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the audience award, HOOP DREAMS is the remarkable true story of two American dreamers; an intimate reflection of contemporary American inner-city culture, following two ordinary young men on the courts of the game they love. HOOP DREAMS will tour cinemas later this year to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
We’re excited to announce our new partnership with the Folkestone Quarterhouse programming their new monthly documentary club which gives us a great opportunity to bring documentaries from around the world to Folkestone and to build a documentary community.
