New digital resource - Tënk
VOD platform
- Documentation
Our VOD (Video on Demand) offering is expanding: we have Arte Campus, and now we'll also have access to Tënk. Tënk, which in Wolof (a language spoken in Senegal, Gambia, Mali and Mauritania) means "to state a thought clearly and concisely". to state a thought clearly and concisely".was born in 2016 from the will of several collectives united in a cooperative.
What do they have in common? The promotion of documentary cinema and support for film creation.
Tënk is a VOD platform offering documentary films on a wide range of themes: ecology, feminism, social struggles, decolonization, the arts, cinema, science or history... It defines itself by a cinema that is plural, free in its content and form.
The programming of around twenty new films per month is the work of a programming committee that scours festivals, cinemas, archives and film libraries. This monthly selection remains available for 4 months, and a review written by Tënk accompanies each documentary.
This new digital resource, a project run by the ArchiRès network, is funded by the French Ministry of Culture.
