DocAlliance offers Love – for free

The excellent vod (video on demand) portal DocAlliance, a collaboration between the five documentary film festivals in Copenhagen, Leipzig, Jihlava, Warsaw and Nyon, introduces a Valentine’s Day gift from tomorrow. Here is the text from the site:

“As part of the online film display about various (per)versions of love, the portal will present 10 films for free stream. One of the most successful Danish films from the past years, Mechanical Love (Photo), deals with the strong emotional bond between people and robots. Blind Loves by Juraj Lehotský is a fragile parable about most intimate emotions and feelings of blind people; the film was awarded at the Cannes film festival. By means of amateur family films, the powerful story of Josef and Marie is told on the backdrop of turbulent historical events in Czechoslovakia in the film With Kisses from Your Love, a part of the successful cycle Private Century by Jan Šikl. Perverted forms of love between people and their pets are captured in the provocative and brutal stage-managed documentary Animal Love by Ulrich Seidl.”

And if you profit from this generosity, why not make a pay-back by ordering (for a pretty low price) some of the brilliant films that DocAlliance has online. For instance several films by masters like Sergey Loznica and Marcel Lozinski.
