Time to Celebrate Documentaries

… say the DocAlliance people, who again are advertising their vod repertory, including several films that can be streamed for free. The reason for celebration NOW is of course that two of the festivals that are part of the Alliance start today (Jihlava and Lisbon), two other (Leipzig and Copenhagen) follow a bit later.

Go to the site below and see what is on the menu – Frederick Wiseman is not (yet) but his new film “At Berkeley” (photo) will be screened in Lisbon and Copenhagen. Here is the text from DocAlliance:

A month full of the best of contemporary documentary film is about to start! Four Doc Alliance partner festivals are inviting both local and international audiences to meet new talented directors, emerging producers and progressive distribution trends. DAFilms.com offers you the unique opportunity to watch selected festival films during special weekly events online for free. Are you going to one of the festivals only? Are you planning your film trip for the spring months? Watch DAFilms.com and enjoy the festival fall in the comfort of your home!
