a free, curated streaming service that only has one movie at a time, up for one week. they’ve been putting up some really great short docs about Palestine lately, and they’ve got supplemental reading for everything. just discovered it a few weeks back, really enjoying it.

The free streaming service to end all paid ones. Every time I look through what’s available to add more to my ever expanding watchlist, I’m amazed at the depth of their library. I’ve been working through the Hong Sang-soo films they have and also watched Catherine Breillat’s fairytale adaptations<3

Before this crisis, we had another one: the global pandemic. If you recall, everything shut down pretty much everywhere…which gave a few film lovers the chance to become film programmers. Using under-the-radar streaming services (like Twitch, but dodgier), several collectives started running daily movie streams. It was a refreshing alternative to going on Netflix/Hulu/Criteria and weighing the options for an hour. Instead of having to pick a movie, you just go to the URL and feast your eyes on the stream. The one I was most obsessed with was Cinephobe, but Cathode Cinema, Moviepassed and SpectacleNYC all gave me much-needed joy, as depression, despair and death colonized human consciousness. A few major discoveries were Golden Mouth, Brimstone and Treacle, Play Dirty and Scalpel. These programmers earn my gratitude and admiration. I think Cathode is the only one still going strong and I highly recommend you check it out.

my friend and I started a very informal “book club” of sorts a couple months ago wherein we just get together every weekend and dedicate an hour or two to reading our respective books together. it rocks! you don’t have to commit to reading the same thing but you do have to commit to reading something, which is always good and fun and enriching.
