About

Hopscotch is Australia’s premier independent feature film distributor with a strong reputation for acquiring films that challenge, entertain and inspire audiences. Hopscotch’s very first release BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE became the highest grossing documentary in Australian history and was followed by major box office hits including FAHRENHEIT 9/11, SOMERSAULT, TOUCHING THE VOID, MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS, PAN’S LABYRINTH, TRAVELLING BIRDS, BRA BOYS, THE LIVES OF OTHERS, THE WRESTLER, EASY VIRTUE, MONGOL, BRIGHT STAR and MAO’S LAST DANCER. Hopscotch is now in its eighth year of operation and during that time has firmly established itself as one of Australia’s most prolific distributors.

In addition, Hopscotch Entertainment, its DVD home entertainment division, opened its doors in February 2004, complementing Hopscotch’s critically acclaimed theatrical DVD releases with classic films from acclaimed directors Ingmar Bergman, Pedro Almodovar, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Mira Nair, Patrice Leconte and Wong Kar Wai, cutting edge features and documentaries and cult TV from the BBC, Channel 4 and Australia’s finest local production houses.

In 2006, Hopscotch launched Hopscotch Productions, to allow Hopscotch to deepen its involvement in the Australian film landscape and to work with emerging and established filmmaking talent from as early as concept-stage. The newest permutation of the Hopscotch brand is Hopscotch Features – a joint venture with Andrew Mason, one of Australia’s most experienced producers (THE MATRIX TRILOGY) and John Collee, one of Australia’s most commercially successful screenwriters (MASTER AND COMMANDER, HAPPY FEET). Hopscotch Features will act as a ‘one-stop shop’ for film finance, development, production and distribution.

Although it has grown since its inception, Hopscotch is committed to deliver films with a distinctive quality and to an audience that demands that film challenge, entertain and inspire.
