OVID.tv is a streaming service for independent feature films, global cinema, animation, social issue and documentary films from around the world, most unavailable on any other platform.
As of June 2020, there are over 800 titles available on OVID, and we continue to add 20-35 new titles every month. The films fall roughly into three categories: powerful films addressing urgent political and social issues; in-depth selections of creative documentaries, animation and experimental films by world-famous directors; and the best of global cinema, independent art-house feature and genre films by contemporary filmmakers as well as established masters.
OVID’s films connect us to our histories, each other, and open-up a world of new possibilities.
"A haven for indie gems." —Kathryn Shattuck, The New York Times
"A cornucopia of international movies and documentaries, short- and medium-length films and features, recent ones as well as classics. Far better for recent movies than FilmStruck ever was, and its spectrum of new movies is far more substantial than that of Netflix, wider-ranging than that of Amazon Prime." —Richard Brody, The New Yorker
"A Netflix for the left." —Louis Proyect, CounterPunch
“The majority of [films] aren’t available on any other streaming platform." —David Ehrlich, Indiewire
“An incredible new streaming service backed by some of the greatest distributors. Truly the killer app for cinephiles." —Joshua Brunsting, Criterion Cast
