We closely work with key int. festivals, broadcasters, distributors, sales agents, markets, or training initiatives and serve as the GATEWAY TO EAST EUROPEAN DOCUMENTARY FILM.

East Silver was recently approached by two European TV stations that showed interest in two titles from the market. One of them is the Dutch TV station HUMAN which acquired the award-winning Polish documentary Chemo by Pawel Lozinski. TVP Kultura is considering the Czech film Keep the Rhythm! by Olga Sommerova.

East Silver TV Focus addressed several TV buyers with the selection of films from the market during the last year. The main goal of East Silver TV Focus is to secure international broadcasting for East European titles from the market.

Keep the Rhythm!

Director: Sommerová Olga
Producer: Morávek Petr
Production company: Czech TV

Špalíček B. Martinů , Czech Republic, 2009, 57 min, Digi Beta, Arts and Culture, Music

Using the music of Bohuslav Martinů, The Chap-Book project was inspired by Rhythm Is It!, a successful social and art project developed by the Berlin Philharmonic. Working with the graduates of the Duncan Centre, the Czech project aimed to open up the process of art creation also to children who have no experience with the arts. As one of the outcomes of the project, the film shows the children's transformation as they acquire better dancing skills, become actively engaged in the show and express their excitement and joy from the success of the show and a big applause at the sold-out venue.

Patients in an oncology clinic receive chemotherapy. Their faces can be seen in a close-up. They lie in pairs and hold fascinating conversations. Life seen from a different perspective, a distance offered by a hospital, reveals its value, sense and charm. Why so late?
