The 6 Best Streaming Services
(That Aren’t Netflix)
By Morgan Rojas for Cinemacy.com
Quarantine and chill. That’s our new reality,
for now at least. If you’ve already torn your way
through Netflix’s Tiger King, caught up on every
episode of reality TV via Hulu, and even knocked
a few classic films off the watch list from
the Criterion Collection, we’ve got you covered.
Below are six streaming services that are
specially curated for independent, documentary,
and art house cinephiles. With many platforms
offering free trials, now is the perfect time to
explore cinema beyond your comfort zone.
Last week Alamo Drafthouse announced
it would begin offering “Alamo-At-Home,” a
virtual cinema initiative led by distributors like
Kino Lorber, Film Movement, and Magnolia
Pictures to allow independent theaters to digitally
offer new films. Their signature programming
series “Terror Tuesday” and “Weird Wednesday”
return for Virtual Cinema experiences.
If you’re an Amazon Prime Video subscriber,
you can enjoy IFC Films Unlimited and 100+
more channels — for a free 30-day trial. Watch
the best from IFC, like Boyhood, The Babadook,
and In The Loop, from the comfort of your
own home. After the free trial ends, IFC Films
Unlimited bills $5.99/month, cancel anytime.
If you have a library card, then you have access
to Kanopy, an on-demand streaming video
platform for public libraries and universities that
offers films and documentaries. Kanopy has a
catalog of 30,000 documentaries, classic, and
indie films (including an A24 film category).
Last October, Kino Lorber launched Kino-
Now an online movie rental and purchase
platform with everything from festival hits to
silent classics Battleship Potemkin and Nosferatu
and works by Jean-Luc Godard, Yorgos
Lanthimos, and Rick Alverson. Kino Lorber
President and CEO Richard Lorber bills Kino-
Now as a “kind of arthouse iTunes.”
MUBI, the premiere streaming service for
curated independent films, has its slate packed
with recent festival hits and rediscovered classics.
April’s curated line-up also spotlights daring
new voices and champions classics from the
past. Get 3 months for just $1.
OVID was launched by a collection of 8 top
U.S. Indie film distributors, and consistently
adds 20+ titles per month. Since it’s launch
one year ago, it has grown its collection from
approx. 300 titles to almost 800 today. Enjoy a
free 14-day trial, then OVID bills $6.99/month. •

Dear Neighborhood Therapist,
I am having trouble living with so much
uncertainty. About my job, about my
relationships, about what life is going to be
like two weeks or a month or a year from
now. Can you help? - The Most Common
Question I Get These Days, El Segundo
Dear The Most Common
Question I Get These Days,
I wish I could help with certainty about what
is happening in the world - we have to wait
a bit longer for that - but there is one thing
we can reach for no matter what is going on:
our own values. Now is a good time to make
them clear, and let them guide you.
When we have pressure to perform and
achieve, at work and in our relationships
with our colleagues and clients and partners,
many of us do not take time to make our
values explicit, and thus we end up assuming
we share the most prevalent values in
our environment, whether or not we actually
agree with them.
It might be helpful to sit down with a pen
and paper and write out the answers to a
few questions: When I think about a time I
was really at my best, what was I doing and
what was I standing for? If I could embody
that version of myself right now, what actions
would I be taking? If your routine has
been disrupted, and you could build it back
up again from scratch, would you rebuild it
exactly as it was? If there are differences,
what is it about your life that explains what
you would do differently?
If you need help, or have the ability to help
others, please reach out and I will coordinate.
If you or someone you know needs to talk
to someone, please reach out and I will take
as many people as I can during this crisis,
regardless of ability to pay.
Please write to tom@tomandrecounseling.
