DAFilms, one of the first streaming portals, celebrates 15 years since its founding!
Press releases 29-10-2020At a time when all cultural events have once again moved to an online environment, international streaming portal DAFilms is set to celebrate its 15th anniversary come October 29th. The portal was created in the same year as the global video sharing platform YouTube at a time when many still had yet to see the potential in online distribution. However, the initial reluctance of filmmakers to put their films online has now been cast aside, and DAFilms has managed to establish itself as an international platform that festivals and independent films depend on. Right now, DAFilms is helping to mediate online versions of such documentary film festivals as the Czech Republic’s Ji.hlava IDFF and Portugal’s Doclisboa.
Following the decision announced on October 28th, 2020 by the Federal Government of Germany to contain the coronavirus pandemic, which includes the four-week closure of all cinemas, the organisers of the FilmFestival Cottbus (FFC) have decided to postpone the 30th edition. The dual festival will take place with film screenings in real cinemas from December 8th to 13th, 2020, the nationwide streaming offer will be available on the festival website from December 8th to 31st, 2020.
