KineDok is a new innovative distribution platform for documentary films from Central and East European region. 5 European partners – Institute of Documentary Films (Prague, Czech Republic), One World Romania Association (Bucharest, Romania), Restart (Zagreb, Croatia), Mozinet (Budapest, Hungary) and Filmtopia (Bratislava, Slovakia) – allied in their common effort to find and build new audiences of European creative documentaries across the region. Our aim is to distribute exceptional documentary films with a successful festival history, which in result of great competition, regardless of their high quality, rarely enter the traditional cinema distribution, or only in a very few territories.The goals of the activity are to build a network of new exhibition venues (galleries, bars, cafés, roofs, cellars, castles etc.) as well as of former and existing cinemas across the whole region. The focus of KineDok will be on small towns and villages, places where we witness non or very low film circulation, and on alternative spaces in big cities. We aim to address and engage communities around these places and build a loyal audience base with interest in creative documentary genre. At the same time bring new topics to audiences and discuss them in debates with professionals. KineDok will also organize educative workshops for local promoters; provide them with know-how on film, film distribution, and marketing and promotion.KineDok aspires to become revolutionary distribution platform that will complement traditional festival, theatrical, TV and VOD distribution of films reacting to the current social and cultural shifts within the European audiences and society. Through co-operation with all segments of a film distribution chain and concentrating on an untapped potential within the audience KineDok will contribute to building a new solid and viable distribution model for European documentary films.
