Moving Docs Announces New Campaigns and Film Selection for 2017

With a brand new selection of compelling documentaries and exciting campaigns ahead, the innovative doc screening and promotion platform 'Moving Docs' is launching its next instalment. Upcoming highlights include the pan-European release of Christian Tod's 'Free Lunch Society' and a photo competition in connection with the film 'Dolphin Man' by Lefteris Charitos.

With ten new documentaries selected for its 2017 edition, the EDN initiative Moving Docs is all set for jumpstarting another season of doc screenings including innovative campaigns and special events aimed at bringing high quality documentaries to new audiences across Europe.

This year, one of the films that will be screened by partners across the Moving Docs network is Free Lunch Society (directed by Christian Tod), which deals with the model of unconditional basic income and how this could be applied to modern societies. In order to raise awareness and strengthen the impact of the film across Europe, Moving Docs will be organizing a pan-European screening of Free Lunch Society on Tuesday, 26th September, accompanied by a Facebook Live Broadcast from Portugal during the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) congress. Additionally, Moving Docs has created a short animation that will easily communicate the definition of a universal basic income to large audiences. Short teaser clips and a variety of blog posts will further be used to spread the word about the film and the topic of universal basic income.

The following confirmed Moving Docs partners are participating in the pan-European release of the film:

• Against Gravity (Poland) - 26th September
