KineDok is an international project of the Institute of Documentary Film (IDF) that provides an alternative platform for the distribution of creative documentary films from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Since its start in 2014, the project has focused on building a stable network of around 200 alternative venues. The IDF created a long-term collaboration with project partners who work together every year on the KineDok project. The project focuses on event-based community-building distribution and film education as well as online distribution, which includes online events and a VOD platform. The project supports the diversity of cultural offer across six participating European countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Croatia, and Georgia. In 2024-2026, KineDok aims to reach new audiences (by adding more documentary titles into the catalogue offer, including documentary heritage films and CEE films produced outside the project’s partner countries, target young families and children age group 6-12), introduce innovative approaches to capacity-building (film school students know-how exchange) and expand its activities by providing a new distribution platform for VR films which lacks the distribution infrastructure worldwide (beside of festivals) and especially in the CEE region. Thus, the project will create new possibilities of VR distribution for VR creators by organising event-based VR film screening events at selected venues. KineDok expands its film education screenings at schools by addressing more schools. The project will continue to organise documentary screening events both at unique venues and online, as well as international online events in the form of panel discussions in a new exciting pre-recorded format which will attract new audiences to the KineDok website. Moreover, KineDok offers curated VOD documentary content with films subtitled into each partner language (EN, CZ, SK, HU, HR, RO, GE).
