The cinemas are closed and so are we, but that doesn't mean we don't still try to serve you the best content. Whether it's from our own productions or by way of recommendations. At VODTip, we curate the best from platforms like Netflix, HBO GO, Dafilms, Aerovod and more. So read our Journal regularly and follow along with us.
Czech Television: Velvet FAMU
This November marks 31 years since the beginning of the Velvet Revolution. On the occasion of last year's round anniversary, the documentary film Velvet FAMU was made, charting the events of November 1989 at the Film Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts. The filmmakers Lea Petříková and Jan Rousek collected unique materials, memories of witnesses and archives of the Student Broadcast. The film stars Zdeněk Tyc, Ondřej Trojan, Eva Papoušková, Jan Hřebejk, Petr Jarchovský, Petr Kotek, Pavel Dobrovský, Pavel Lagner, Andrea Sedláčková and others.

Netflix: David Attenborough: Life on Our Planet
One of the most talked-about films of the past month. In it, Attenborough, 49, gives his life testimony about the state of our planet. "All my life I thought I was discovering wilderness, but all I was capturing was its demise," he says in the documentary. His charismatic voice has been with us since the 1950s. While his entire career has focused on nature - animals and flora - he now puts humans, who are undeniably to blame for climate change, in the lead role.

Dafilms: French Film Festival
The twenty-third edition of the Festival of French Film will take place this year, like many other festivals, on the networks, specifically on the Dafilms portal. Taking place from 19 to 25 November, you can look forward to films such as the documentary Aznavour and his World, Guillaume Brac's poetic On Deck! or the romance Summer 85, which you had the opportunity to see in the cinemas already as part of the selection of films from the Cannes Film Festival that did not take place.

Aerial: Portrait of a Girl on Fire
We'll stay on the French wave with our next tip. On the Aerovod platform you have the opportunity to see a unique film by French director Celine Sciamma Portrait of a Girl on Fire. We had planned to show this film at the Telegraph Cinema - which is also why we highly recommend it. (It is, amongst other things, my favourite film of the last year - author's note) It is an extraordinarily sensitive romance that gives a glimpse of the period in which it is set through a woman's perspective. Don't miss this film.
