The pandemic has shut down so much, you’d think by now there’d be a slowdown in new movies arriving. For instance, a popular theatre in Ottawa, the ByTowne Cinema, is shutting down for good because of it. But on the streaming sites, the new titles keep coming. Add in the festivals that have gone online, and you’ve got so much to check out.
Right now, there’s a small festival of Turkish films, and the Whistler Film Festival is still going, too. It’s adding new films until Sunday and then leaving everything up for streaming until the end of the month.
