FilmDoo is working with distributors Java Films and Film Delights to give international releases to overlooked documentaries of timely importance from a range of film talent from France, the UK, Spain, Austria and more.
Covering a variety of topics from homelessness to workers’ rights to the issues still faced by LGBT communities around the world, these feature films offer profound insight into the daily struggles and triumphs experienced by a vibrant range of groups and individuals worldwide.
The dozen-plus films released internationally this Friday 9th December include:

Following artist Paul Halfleet’s ‘Pansy Project’, this documentary tells stories of homophobia as experienced by members of the LGBT community.

Director Christopher Tew closely follows the unlikely friendship of Gundega and Melanie as they struggle with homelessness, drug addiction and abuse.
Open Windows (dir. Michèle Massé)
Michèle Massé documents the lives of four lesbian women in their 70s and deals with issues of sexuality, desire and aging.
Kick Out Your Boss (dir. Elisabeth Scharang)
