Volta, Ireland’s leading independent Video On Demand platform, has launched the third edition of STREAMS – The European Online Film Festival, which will take place from December 1st 2014 to December 31st 2014, simultaneously on eight Video on Demand platforms, based in eight different European countries: UniversCiné (France), Flimmit (Austria), Volta (Ireland), leKino.ch (Switzerland), Filmin (Spain), UniversCiné.be (Belgium), Netcinema (Bulgaria) and Good!Movies (Germany).
This unique, festive, annual event will feature 15 recent European feature films (two per participating country and one from Germany) that haven’t been distributed yet outside of their national countries, in order to make new European high-quality films available to various European audiences, and promote new channels for the distribution of European audiovisual works on a transnational level. 13 of the 15 films will receive their European Premiere.
