New online portal www.docalliancefilms.com for distribution of documentary films has been launched on March 1!
Doc Alliance Films portal - www.docalliancefilms.com - is an initiative of DOC ALLIANCE, a partnership of five key European documentary film festivals: CPH:DOX Copenhagen, DOK Leipzig, IDFF Jihlava, Planete Doc Review Warsaw a VISIONS DU REEL Nyon. The portal is a follow-up of already well known Doc Air portal which has been initiated by International Documentary Film Festival Jihlava and during its three year existence has gathered about 250 unique documentary films.
DOC ALLIANCE was born with the awareness that new initiatives are needed to promote remarkable films to a general market that is less permeable to their circulation and commercialisation and to approach various audiences in every conceivable manner, ranging from cinema, television, DVD to VOD, and other networks. Its objective is to create an inventive and dynamic distribution platform for filmmakers and producers by offering attractive alternatives, debates, choices and perspectives.
The films you can find on the Doc Alliance Films platform are selected by festival programme committees, which focus on films with both social and aesthetic value - searching for films which deal with strong issues and do not resign from aesthetic qualities and a unique style at the same time. Moreover, the platform is open to any kind of cinematic innovations, progressive and provocative docs stimulating an open dialogue between the authors and their audience.
Doc Alliance Films offers a selection of important contemporary documentary films from all over the world with an accent on European cinematography. However, not only the contemporary, but also archive documentary films and the greatest documentary works of the past are available on the portal, which thus aspires to become an archive as well. Films by established masters as Ulrich Seidl, Jørgen Leth, Peter Mettler or Helena Třeštíková, by new talents and also students' films are very welcome at Doc Alliance Films.
Legally and for a minimum fee, you can watch or buy a film by mere playing or downloading it in one of the two offered formats.
