ABOUT BLUE FOX ENTERTAINMENT CANADA
Blue Fox Entertainment Canada launched in advance of the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, spearheaded by seasoned industry executives Dave Hudakoc, Ian Goggins and Michael Baker . The company has quickly established itself through the strategic acquisition of Unobstructed View Entertainment—a boutique label specializing in Blu-rays, 4K restorations, and prestige home video releases. With partners such as The Criterion Collection, Arrow Video, and Kino Lorber, Blue Fox Canada brings cinephiles and collectors access to some of the most celebrated and hard-to-find titles in contemporary and classic cinema.
Upcoming releases include Janus Films’ Two Prosecutors, directed by Sergei Loznitsa which won the François Chalais Prize at Cannes and Kirk Jones’ multiple BAFTA-winning film I SWEAR later this spring.
