More in the collapsing windows: IN UK, the Channel 4 film “The Road to Guantanamo”, directed by Michael Winterbottom, is to be distributed in cinemas, on DVD and online simultaneously for the first time.
The film, which is based on the stories of three British men in Guantanamo Bay, is due to be screened on Channel 4 on March 9. Along with the TV screening, the film is to be shown in up to 30 UK cinemas and on the internet. The production company, Revolution Films, is thought to be in talks with ISP Tiscali about online distribution.
Last month, US director Steven Soderbergh broke new ground for the industry in January when his latest film ‘Bubble’ was released simulateously in the US on DVD and at theatres…but there was no online component.
