Kinocola Launches VOD in Slovakia

By

    BRATISLAVA: Kinocola, a new VOD platform, was launched in Slovakia on 22 July 2014. The platform is the creation of producer Peter Nedvedal of Filmpark and co-founder Jana Klukova.

    The line-up includes Slovak and Czech films, with both documentaries and feature films. Among them are films from Slovak director/producer Matyas Prikler of MPhilms, Fine, Thanks and the omnibus documentary Slovakia 2.0. The site, which primarily contains films which don’t have a wide theatrical release in Slovakia, also includes Slovak director Zuzana Liova’s award winning film The House and the Slovak comedy Tigers in the City directed by Juraj Krasnohorsky.

    VOD is still in its infancy in the Czech and Slovak Republics, but filmmakers are working on broadening the offerings as a means to wean domestic users away from online piracy.
