There is a brand new global streaming platform to add to the mix. This seems like one of the really good things to come out of the COVID Lockdown are we are watching more and more movies in the comfort of our own home.
Why should be excited about OVID.tv? Well mainly because its a platform for streaming independent films, which is always so very welcome.
It’s already attracted attention with The New York Times calling it “A haven for indie gems” and Vanity Fair says it is “a fantastic streamer for people with a taste for foreign, political and otherwisembeyond-the-American-mainstream films.”
OVID is available in the U.S. and Canada. New subscribers can sign-up for a free 14-day trial. After that, subscriptions are just $6.99/mo or $69.99 for an annual subscription. Available on multiple devices including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Android, Android TV, Roku, Fire TV and web browsers.
Look out for Rebels on Pointe about Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, the notorious all-male, drag ballet company founded over 40 years ago in NYC on the heels of the Stonewall riots, which will begin streaming on OVID on Aug. 14th.
