How do you poke at the travel itch when you can’t exactly scratch it? One of my favorite ways is with foreign films!
So what am I to do? Well, one of my favorite ways to poke at the travel itch when I can’t fully scratch it is with foreign films! Admittedly, it can be hard to know where to look for good ones. You watch Parasite, and you’re like, yes! Give me more! But then all you find is each country’s equivalent of Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
I’ve got your back, my friend.
My latest quarantine project is this: The 2020 Stuck-At-Home International Film Festival. Go ahead and draw yourself a festival pass on a piece of cardboard and I’ll tell you what you’re signing up for.
A (kind of) weekly email featuring a new batch of international films
My own mini-review and thoughts on the film.
Some insight into the film industries and cultures of countries that get less attention, including Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia.
Links for streaming the film.
This will mostly be free! Well… mostly free if you have subscriptions to Netflix, Prime, Hulu, etc. Each week, there’ll be one exception. A film available for streaming using a digital ticket, the cost of which will support a local theatre or organizers of a cultural arts organization.
