The document discusses how film distribution works, focusing on the role of distributors in marketing films to audiences and getting them exhibited in cinemas or on television. It notes the differences between film distribution systems in the US and UK, with US studios often controlling production and distribution, while UK distributor Film4 helped finance and distribute independent British films but struggled to appeal to both domestic and international audiences. The role of distributors in the film industry and challenges of independent films finding distribution are also examined.
