FLAME DISTRIBUTION ADDS NEW DOCUMENTARIES TO ITS CATALOG

Flame Distribution has acquired worldwide distribution rights to a selection of high-end documentary specials as well as a compelling doc feature to be presented to international buyers over the coming months. Flame is handling worldwide sales (outside of US, UK/Eire) to "Secrets of the Celtic Grave" (1x46 min/1x84 min) produced by Wildflame Productions for Smithsonian Channel and S4C. Mysterious ancient objects uncovered in Wales trigger a major archaeological investigation that reveals the grave of a Celtic warrior buried in a richly decorated chariot and other treasures.  This documentary follows the unique excavation from start to finish using the latest CGI and dramatic reconstruction.  

Securing worldwide rights (outside of UK/Eire) to "The Man Who Destroyed Oscar Wilde" (1x60’) a Hole in the Wall Gang production for BBC Northern Ireland where by Merlin Holland, grandson of Oscar Wilde, tells the epic story of the famous playwright’s downfall at the hands of the man who he once called an ‘Old friend’ and fellow Irishman, Edward Carson.

Flame has worldwide rights (outside of Australia) to "Our African Roots" (1x60’) by Chemical Media for SBS. This jaw-dropping programme is about Australia’s history and one that will fundamentally re-cast the way the nation sees itself, that reveals modern Australia’s origin story to be a complex, multicultural and multiracial affair.

Finally, Flame has acquired the rights to a mind-blowing documentary feature film "Machine" (1x85’) for worldwide TV distribution (outside of North America) produced by The Finch Company.  This eye-opening film talks to world-renowned experts who are creating, researching and controlling Artificial Intelligence.  

Fiona Gilroy, Content Sales & Acquisitions Director, Flame Distribution said, “Time seems to be a key aspect of these documentaries – whether it’s looking at past events through a new lens or looking into the future as we see the shape of things to come, with exciting discoveries and revelations that we know will have broad appeal.  And although we can’t turn back the hands of time, we are also pleased to mention that our co-founder John Caldon was posthumously awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia this month by the Australian Government for his service to business through media content distribution, something the Flame team are all immensely proud of.”
