You probably know that we’re big fans of foreign films here, and not just foreign films, but any indie gems, foreign or otherwise.
We’re also fans of streaming movies, which sets us apart from some of the “giant screen” purists out there, largely because we’re busy and mobile, and tablets can give you a hell of a picture these days.
That said, the streaming options today are legion, but the options to stream some titles are pretty limited. Popcornflix now has an amazing collection of films that have won prizes at Cannes, Sundance, and many other festivals. These are some of the most talked about foreign films in years, and you don’t want to miss out on them.

Survival in the favelas by way of the ballet? That's what the Film Movement folks are proposing this summer as they become the official dance partners with Beadie Finzi's favela-set documentary film which appears to contain a rags-to denouement and could easily mimic the popularity of Mad Hot Ballroom. - Survival in the favelas by way of the ballet?

Only When I Dance follows two young teenagers, Isabella and Irlan as they strive to realize an extraordinary dream. One girl, one boy.
