Since 1984 Camera has been a leading player in the distribution market for current affairs and investigative journalism documentaries. For over ten years Camera has represented the BBC catalogue for News & Current Affairs in Italy. In 2005 Camera evolved into a new structure, “Camera Distribuzioni Internazionali,” to distribute documentaries, tv series, music concerts and other formats. We directly source content at international markets, aggregate it and curate it following the editorial needs of our clients. We pride ourselves for being a reliable and innovative partner for any broadcasting platform.




DUBBING

Camera, in collaboration with two labs in Milan and Rome, directly oversees the dubbing of our content. We closely follow the adaptation from English to Italian, revise translated scripts and before the given documentary is broadcasted we personally control the artistic quality of the dub. Our catalogue counts over 650 hours of available dubbed content.
