Shooting documentaries is like playing jazz, says Aleksander Duraj

Project KineDok is not only an alternative distribution platform but also a connection between the film fans and makers of creative documentary. This time, we asked for an interview the director of photography and the assistant director of a music-driven documentary about a deaf gypsy girl The Queen of Silence, Aleksander Duraj.

KineDok First Screens Conference 2017

Since its beginning in 2015, KineDok has grown into a unique network for alternative distribution of creative docs in Europe. Originally operating in five countries in 2015, KineDok spread to Norway and Poland and in 2017 is starting in Bulgaria too. But the whole network shouldn’t only serve to help the circulation of documentary films, but also to share the know-how. That’s why the East Doc Platform will host the KineDok First Screens Conference, which will discuss possibilities of professional exchange of social and current issues orientated documentary films made by young filmmakers. The aim is to extend and strengthen connection between film schools in different European countries and encourage young filmmakers to think about distribution outside the box.
