About KineDok:
KineDok is a new kind of international community, a unique film club and an alternative distribution platform, connecting both the fans and makers of creative documentary. In its pilot edition, 12 thought-provoking East and Central European documentaries will be screened at more than 20 non-traditional venues in each of the participating countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Croatia. In a form of shared experience that overcomes the traditional walls of a cinema hall, KineDok comes to your local club, cafe, gallery, attic etc. and invites you not only to come and see the film on a big screen, but also to meet the makers or the protagonists of the film in an informal environment and discuss the issues with them over a drink. Without you, the interested audience, there would be no point in creating documentaries and without the filmmakers, there would be no voice for you, people experiencing interesting or tough times – let us support this symbiosis, let us make art easily accessible, let us spread the word and the basic message of KineDok: these people, these issues, this genre, these places and these countries are not to be overlooked!
