Tiscali to screen Raindance films free online

LONDON - Broadband company Tiscali will screen nine full-length films from the Raindance Film Festival live online, including Brit flick 'One Day Removals' and music documentary 'Agile, Mobile, Hostile' about the life of R&B legend Andre Williams.

For the second year running Tiscali will offer a free online festival, running from October 2 to October 12 alongside the London-based 2008 Raindance Film Festival.

The UK premiere of 'Choke', based on the book written by Fight Club author Chuck Palahnuik and starring Sam Rockwell and Angelica Houston, will open the festival in London's West End.

Tiscali will show nine films from the festival at 9pm each night on its to coincide with each film's premiere.

Along with 'One Day Removals' and 'Agile, Mobile, Hostile', the films also include 'It's Only Rock 'N' Roll But I Like Keith', a documentary about adults behaving like teenagers, and 'Production Office', a film shot entirely in one room and mostly between two characters.

The festival will also feature 15 exclusive short films.

Alex Hole, online media director at Tiscali, said: "Tiscali has worked with Raindance for the past four years to help bring the festival experience to a wider audience through the power of the internet.

"One of the challenges facing independent film makers is reaching a global audience and we are very happy to be able to help them achieve this goal by making their films available online for free."

Elliott Grove, founder of Raindance, said: "Film lovers no longer need to be in London to experience Raindance. Last year's online festival helped us bring the Raindance experience to a national and international audience and we look forward to recreating its success in 2008."
