CATHERINE LE CLEF, CAT & DOCS, FRANCE

Le Clef set up the new Paris based documentary sales company in November 2009 after leaving Fortissimo Films where she was head of TV and Ancillary Sales. Following stints at Films Transit and Doc & Co., Le Clef is one of the best connected figures in the world of doc sales. She has assembled a formidable slate of award winning docs such as “Citizenfour”, “Sonita”, “A Syrian Love Story”, “Cameraperson”, “5 Broken Cameras”, “Tea Time”, “My Love don’t cross that River”, “Planet of Snail”, to name a few. CAT & Docs is a Paris based sales agent company set up by Catherine Le Clef, looking for pertinent and impertinent docs at any stage on topical questions and timeless subjects; docs that are carefully researched; docs that rigorously explore the subject matter, that are audacious, open to the diversity of the world and that have their place on the international scene; docs that question the world and propose new ways of looking at it. Docs that keep us from closing our eyes.
