new documentaries, new ways to see them

If you were at the Sheffield DocFest and haven’t yet checked out DocFest on demand then I urge you to do so. We worked with Sheffield to secure 30 films in this year’s festival to play for 3 months for free to all registered delegates. It’s looking great.
If you didn’t go, you can still see the trailers, and it’ll wet your appetite for next time. We’re looking to roll out similar projects with more partners, and if you’d like to be one of them let me know.

Saw Erik Gandini’s superb film Videocracy at Sheffield DocFest and it is exactly the film about modern Italy I have been waiting for. It’s both sinister and hilarious, and will make you despair even more about the true nature of democracy in Berlusconi’s near one party state. The film’s power derives from its brilliant use of images and music to tell the story without didactic commentary. See this film!
