If you want to make your own festival, faced in front of your computer, Doc Air offers you quality. Check it yourself, and be aware that here you find an excellent selection of Czech directors to be carefully studied – like Karel Vachek, the late Pavel Koutecky, Jan Gogola, Miroslav Janek. But also films by international “stars” like Chris Marker, Jørgen Leth, Michael Glawogger and Ulrich Seidl. Around 250 short and long films, good annotations for each films and a well written newsletter to subscribe to. And cheap it is. End of my promotion. Here is a clip from the site´s own presentation:

Doc Air is a documentary heaven for anyone who has a great interest and at least a little money… Doc Air offers a selection of important contemporary documentary films from all over the world.
