This is incredible! Does anyone know of other sites like this for films from other countries? I've been looking to broaden my cinematic horizons a bit, as well as hunting for material to practice language comprehension.

I have been working through the book "1000 Films To See Before You Die" — finding the films on YouTube or Netflix....

  If you have the budget for it, I strongly recommend Criterion Channel as another source for these.

The only one I know is from here, Argentina, but I cannot remember if I can see from outside the country. play.cine.ar Tell me if you can, maybe with a proxy or cheating the account registration. It is a free public platform anyway. We are paying that with taxes so don't worry.

  Just tested it, i can create an account with the location properly set (to France) and it lets me watch (at least the two random things i clicked on).

Large amounts of Mosfilm output was available on Youtube, although I think Russian cinema may be an unpopular choice at the moment. A surprising amount of pre-90s film is randomly available on youtube; sometimes with odd choices about dubbing and subtitles.

  IDK, I run a pro-Ukraine resource page but I could still go watch films like Moscow - Cassiopeia, or Courier, any day A lot of the creators behind the various films were pretty nuanced people, too...it shows in the way that they speak a clearly ethical filmic language based in universal ideals.
