EAST DOC PLATFORM 2015 - STEP INTO IT!
(March 2 - 8, 2015, Prague - Institute Cervantes and Komedie Theatre)
KineDok Project - Focused on the Audience
Within East Doc Platform, a new unique international alternative documentary distribution project will be introduced, named KineDok. “The project aims to adress the creative documentary audience, who are convinced that these films are worth seeing on the big screen and being accompanied by debates with the filmmakers. KineDok will be welcomed by those who believe that a shared experience with friends at their favorite venue is better than solitary streaming at home and those who prefer the genius loci of alternative spaces to the unified multiplex cinema halls. Not to mention the possibility of meeting new people who think alike from five different countries and an opportunity to become an active part of this alternative distributional network“, says Jana Ripplová, the main coordinator of project KineDok.
The pilot edition of KineDok will be oficially launched on March 6, 2015, 8:30 pm at La Fabrika – Slévárna. A brand new documentary - Sugar Blues by Andrea Culková was chosen for the introductory screening - a thrilling personal diary of the director and at the same time committed mother, who after a diagnosis of gestational diabetes decides to find out what is hidden behind our sugar addiction and a machinery that makes us eat sweet things. The screening will be followed by a party with DJ Rumdom.
