About Alliance

DOC ALLIANCE - The New Deal for Feature Documentaries

Doc Alliance is the result of a creative partnership of six key European documentary film festivals: CPH:DOX Copenhagen, DOK Leipzig, FID Marseille (from 2012), Jihlava IDFF, Planete Doc Film Festival and Visions du Réel Nyon.

The aim of Doc Alliance is to support the diverse nature of documentary film and to increase audience awareness of the fascinating possibilities of this genre, which often manages to be more moving than the world of fiction. Doc Alliance represents a dynamic platform offering filmmakers and producers alternative forms of distribution for films that are often difficult to get onto the market. The purpose of Doc Alliance is to help documentary films reach as many viewers as possible, and to systematically support their distribution on the festival market and through its website, DAFilms.com.

Activities of DOC ALLIANCE:

• Doc Alliance Selection - This year DOC ALLIANCE is proud to welcome FID Marseille as its sixth partner and has chosen a new procedure for selecting the films that will be screened at Visions du Réel, Planete Doc Film Festival Warsaw, FID Marseille, DOK Leipzig, IDFF Jihlava and CPH:DOX Copenhagen: each member country has proposed a film critic and a film. Among these six productions, the critics have nominated three films that will be shown at the six festivals and will compete for the Doc Alliance Award to be presented at the end ofthe year.

• DAFilms.com is Doc Alliance’s online distribution tool. The website offers Video on Demand and permanent access to more than 600 documentary and experimental films. Audiences and film professionals from around the world can legally watch all the films at DAFilms.com; for a small fee, they can view the films directly on their computer or download them in AVI and DVD format.
DAFilms.com offers a selection of contemporary documentary films from around the world, with an emphasis on European cinema. In addition to offering notable recent films, the website also functions as a film archive of important past documentaries. DAFilms.com includes works by masters such as Ulrich Seidl, Jørgen Leth, Peter Mettler and Helena Třeštíková, but also films by emerging filmmakers and film students. Every month, DAFilms.com expands its catalog with the addition of 20 new titles chosen by the six partner festivals involved in Doc Alliance each month. The films are selected on the basis of strict dramaturgic criteria, with an emphasis on their social and aesthetic value and signature style. The website is open to all innovative approaches, including progressive or provocative documentaries that stimulate open dialog between filmmakers and viewers. DAFilms.com invites directors, producers, distributors, and students to register their films, thus offering them the possibility to make use of this unique distribution channel.
