How do you poke at the travel itch when you can’t exactly scratch it? One of my favorite ways 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. We’ve got some good ones to watch.
Here’s how it’ll work: Each week(ish) I’ll email out a new batch of films from around the world, along with links of where to stream them, since they can be found all over the internet. Most of these will be free, but one per week might be behind a paywall meant to support local theatres and film festivals.
To sign up, follow this link! 📲 That’ll get you the links for the right streaming site. Plus I’ll share my own thoughts and some context that might make the film more interesting.

In the meantime, here’s the first batch, featuring faves from China, Pakistan, Italy, South Korea, Senegal, the Philippines, and Brazil. Then sign up for the links!
