There’s already a niche streaming service for nearly every appetite, but indie film fans searching beyond the mainstream now have yet another new resource: Film Movement Plus, which launched on December 15 as an add-on subscription channel for Prime Video customers.
Though the new channel ($5.99 a month, with a seven-day free trial available for new subscribers) exists in addition to Film Movement’s original streaming service, which launched in 2018, it’s clearly designed to make the distributor’s catalog more accessible to wider Prime Video audiences. A press release touts the “curated collection of independent and world cinema, cult and arthouse classics, documentaries and North American exclusives to Prime Video customers via Prime Video Channels,” with new movies, including exclusives and new-to-streaming titles, added on a weekly basis.

Some of the exclusive films you’ll find available now include Diamond Island, Holy Beasts, The Mayor of Rione Sanita, Hellhole, While the Women Were Sleeping, Claire Darling, and Faith. Other titles include digitally restored versions of Sergio Corbucci’s The Great Silence, Ang Lee’s Pushing Hands, Lee Tamahori’s Once Were Warriors, and Ming-liang Tsai’s Vive L’Amour.
“Since 2002, Film Movement’s objective has been to acquire cinematic gems from around the world and share them with American audiences. And, for the past five years, Film Movement Plus has given us a broad platform to serve cineastes with curated cinema wherever they may be,” Film Movement president Michael Rosenberg said in the press release. “By launching our service on Prime Video via Prime Video Channels, we make it even easier for customers to enjoy our films and find the many titles that are only available on Film Movement Plus.”
