DOGWOOF HIGHLIGHTS OF 2022

2022 has been a busy year for Dogwoof, Here we take a look back at the activity of a few of our standout documentaries of the year.

After its world premiere in Sundance back in January, the film’s impact continues to be felt with it being hotly tipped to be nominated for an Academy Award, NAVALNY continues to be a must-watch of 2022.

With packed out screenings and standing ovations for the NAVALNY team after the International Premiere at CPH:DOX, Director Daniel Roher said at the festival:

“I hope the film illustrates a portrait of a man who offers a different vision. In this incredible darkness, I hope this story of Navalny and his character can be a light.

The documentary continues to screens globally, and recently there with a special panel and Q&A event hosted by Hugh Grant in November in London, discussing the themes and issues raised in the film.?
