DOC ALLIANCE SELECTION // 2010

DOC ALLIANCE SELECTION represents five high-quality films, one selected by each of the Doc Alliance festival partners. The films tour at the five Festivals starting at VISIONS DU REEL Nyon. At the end of the year an international jury decides about the “Doc Alliance Award”. In 2010 the Award was handed over during the IDFF Jihlava to "The Arrivals". The five national markets support the films at their festivals and in their theatrical, TV and DVD distribution.
