About

Hopscotch is now in its ninth year of operation and during that time has firmly established itself as one of Australia's most prolific distributors, 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, Bra Boys, The Lives of Others, The Wrestler, Bright Star, Mao's Last Dancer, The Kids are Alright, Source Code and Incendies.

In addition, Hopscotch Entertainment, Hopscotch's DVD home entertainment division, opened its doors in February 2004, complementing their 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 2009, Hopscotch Features was launched, 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. 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.

In 2011, Hopscotch was acquired by global media group Entertainment One. Entertainment One is one of the world's leading independent content and distribution businesses with interests in film, television, music and merchandising across the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, Belgium, The Netherlands and South Africa.

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