“After festival screenings and theatrical distribution, it is important for this selection of films by distinguished Czech documentarists to live on and be available to those whose local cinemas have not presented the films. Our portal will make the films available online to spectators in the Czech Republic as well as abroad,” says Diana Tabakov of the Doc Alliance Films portal. The Czech Joy in Czech Cinemas project was initiated by Verbascum Imago distributor and Jihlava IDFF, which has screened all of the documentaries in premiere. For more information on Czech Joy and the films, please go to www.ceskaradost.cz.
Starting on the same date, Solar Eclipse and Race to the Bottom will also be available for download for a fee in AVI and DVD quality.
