SMALL SCREENS, BIG SOUNDS: ANNOUNCING DOC’N ROLL TV, THE MUSIC DOCUMENTARY STREAMING PLATFORM
28 FEATURE-LENGTH FILMS NOW AVAILABLE ON-DEMAND HERE
Offering front-row excitement with front-room access, Doc’n Roll TV is a new pay-per-view video on-demand platform serving up a wide range of acclaimed music documentaries to viewers across the UK and Ireland. Launching with 28 feature-length films covering genres as diverse as electronic and blues, grunge and death metal, and with prices starting from just £3.20, Doc’n Roll TV’s menu of offerings is set to grow rapidly in the coming months.
Like its big-screen big brother, Doc’n Roll TV’s mission is to show some love and respect to the ever-growing number of great music documentaries that the big platforms dismiss as too adventurous, or too niche. It’s a natural next step for Doc’n Roll Film Festival, a project driven by independent filmmakers and fans instead of Hollywood executives and industry gatekeepers. For six years, Doc’n Roll has been discovering, supporting and championing independent creators and risk-takers, and cultivating a dedicated and passionate audience that appreciates the extra lengths it goes to to bring these films to big screens — and now to small ones, too.
Launched in 2014 by founder Colm Forde, Doc’n Roll Film Festival has screened countless under-the-radar music documentaries which had been ignored by risk-averse cinema programmers. Since then, it has grown beyond its annual November festival in London to 14 UK regional cities and screenings throughout the year.
Forde says: “Doc’n Roll TV’s launch lineup is a hand-picked selection of under-the-radar music documentaries, most of which premiered at past editions of Doc’n Roll Film Festival. This unique video on demand platform reflects our determination to bring great music docs to a nationwide audience… and especially during these uncertain times when escapism is no longer frowned upon.”
