MISSION
Film Movement is for anyone who does not want to miss out on outstanding films because of where they live. Most films do not receive a national release despite critical acclaim and awards at Cannes, Sundance and other top film festivals. As a result, most of us don’t get to see many of the year’s best films. Film Movement is changing all that…
Film Movement was launched in January 2003 as an outgrowth of Shooting Gallery, the production company behind such award-wining films as Sling Blade and You Can Count on Me.
Founder Larry Meistrich says he was amazed when a touring film series of 15 small movies got such a tremendous response from Middle America. He realized there's a big demand for these films, but because they typically play in a handful of big cities, "it's tough for a lot of people to participate."
For $200 a year, Film Movement sends its subscribers one feature — January's movie is Alexandra's Proj-ect — and one short a month, drawn from a pool of award-winning U.S. and foreign films that have played the major film festivals.
David Jauss, a creative-writing teacher at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock, is a Film Movement subscriber.
"We just got an art-house theater here in Little Rock, but even so, it doesn't show these movies, which are some of the best I've ever seen," he says.
His favorites of the Film Movement fare include El Bola, a Spanish film about a boy raised in a violent environment who befriends a boy from a good home, and Marion Bridge, a Canadian drama about three estranged sisters who reunite to care for their dying mother.
"I like movies for adults who can think, rather than people who want to watch explosions," Jauss says.
Film Movement (www.filmmovement.com) now has subscribers in nearly 3,000 cities and towns in all 50 states. In addition, more than 900 libraries present monthly Film Movement nights. Film Movement also will program a new independent film channel on Continental Airlines flights.
To be considered for release by Film Movement, films must have received at least one award at such major film festivals as Cannes, Sundance, Toronto and Berlin. A panel of professional film curators narrows the choices, and then a deal is struck with the filmmaker.
