Canada gets taste of global cinema
Eurocinema, a US on-demand service featuring award-winning European and international films, is making its debut in Canada.
From this month, Eurocinema will be available through Canadian cable operator Shaw Communications. The service will launch with eight titles never before released in the country.
Each feature film will be accompanied by a two-hour hosted thematic programming block, which will provide additional perspectives on the main theme. Supplemental content will come from host commentary, original documentaries and director interviews, in addition to rare shortform films relevant to the feature.
The launch slate is headlined by The Freelancers (Les Cachetonneurs) and Lise and Andre, from director Denis Dercourt. The eight blocks launching the service total 16 hours of original content. Content will be refreshed on a monthly basis.
