For all of us international fans!
Just got word of this new online streaming platform that specializes in giving international movies LEGAL access in countries around the globe! They teamed up with a few organizations to give Asian films an international boost and as a fan of Asian cinema I had to give this news a share, especially since their catalogue is quite diverse! There’s a slight fee to watch the movies, but that makes sense when doing things legally (lmao). More information below!
Online film streaming platform FilmDoo is working with Asian Shadows, Stardust Pictures and other distributors to give international releases to a whole host of new Asian films spanning the continent from Japan, China and Korea down to Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
From eccentric comedies and tender coming-of-age films to taut thrillers and poignant dramas exploring important and controversial issues, these films represent an exciting variety of new talent emerging from the continent.
“There are so many great, interesting stories coming out of Asia; so many talented emerging filmmakers coming from this part of the world,” FilmDoo’s Thai cofounder Weerada Sucharitkul comments, “We’re excited to be doing more to showcase this talent and give these unforgettable, diverse films the exposure they deserve.”
FilmDoo has previously collaborated with Third Window, Cine Asia, De Warrenne and other successful Asian film distributors and have released films in multiple regions from renowned Asian directors like Takeshi Kitano and Kim Ki-Duk.
