RO*CO Films announced today the launch of its new international documentary distribution portal Simple Cinema™ which will for the very first time allow the general public to exhibit films direct through the distributor – making community and educational screenings for award-winning documentaries as simple as a trip to your nearest cinema. ro*co films have made the film licensing and materials process very simple by giving individuals from any international territory the ability to buy rights to screen a film at their local school, theatre, bar or church through its new website www.simplecinemafilms.com.

Simple Cinema will allow the general public to license the public performance rights of any film that is both hosted on the site and available in their territory, and order anything needed to create and market a screening event. Materials include the film, poster, stills and trailer and will also allow organisers the opportunity to promote their screening through the Simple Cinema website and via Simple Cinema’s social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Internationally, ro*co’s catalog includes thirteen Oscar-nominated or Oscar-winning feature documentaries including HOOP DREAMS, BORN INTO BROTHELS, THE GARDEN, JESUS CAMP, NO END IN SIGHT, PROMISES, REGRET TO INFORM, STREET FIGHT, THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND, HELL AND BACK AGAINSAVING FACE, HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE, and THE INVISIBLE WAR.

Annie Roney, Founder & CEO of ro*co films said “Simple Cinema was created in response to an increasing demand for our films to be screened in communities outside of a commercial theatrical release.  Our documentary films are being licensed for semi-theatrical screenings by museums, libraries, universities, non-profits, corporations, cafes and churches around the world.  We wanted to make the licensing process simple for anyone to host a screening of one of our films in their community.”

She continues, “Watching a film together, especially one of our compelling documentary films, can create a powerful experience that promotes useful discourse and sometimes, action. We are giving cinema lovers the power to dictate when, how and where they screen and share these cinematic and award-winning documentary films.  We have no doubt seen a significant shift in how the cultural mainstream embraces the documentary genre and we hope Simple Cinema will help foster this important sea change.”
