After reading the #NYRB "Shithole Cinema" article (paywalled) a couple of months ago, I was looking forward to #RaduJude's "Kontinental '25". It is now on #BFIPlayer and doesn't disappoint. The disturbing collision between self-regard and real events, and the multiple ways to seek to use others […]

Alex Cox introduces The Wicker Man on the much loved BBC2 cult movie programme Moviedrome.
The Biggest Loser was a massive ratings success for NBC but as Netflix's Fit for TV The Reality of The Biggest Loser shows it was a deeply flawed and morally questionable concept from the start.
Journalist Samira Ahmed is one of the Moviedrome fans interviewed on the documentary Moviedrome Welcome To The Cult on BFI Player and Apple TV+.
Biggest Loser winner Danny Cahill is among those interviewed on Netflix's three part documentary Fit for TV The Reality of The Biggest Loser.
TV HEAVEN, TV HELL: Two documentaries capture the best and worst of television. But what does Pomona make of #MoviedromeWelcomeToTheCult on #BFIPlayer & #AppleTv+ and #FitForTVTheRealityofTheBiggestLoser ?.. loveitinpomona.blogspot.com/2025/08/tv-h... #moviedrome #bbc2 #AlexCox #MarkCousins

A reminder in the wake of Name Me Lawand’s #Emmys outing that you can watch it over on #BFIPlayer. Incredible to have see it find new audiences too over on POV / PBS 💫
Watch on BFI Player here: bit.ly/4mnu3PA
Hugely enjoyed Messiah of Evil (1973) it has that doomed paranoia of a Romero Zombie film with an almost folk horror twist. Available on #BFIPlayer
Four Mothers starring James McArdle will be released on BFI Blu-ray, BFI Player, Apple TV and Amazon Prime on 16 June 2025. #Bluray #BFIPlayer #FourMothers
I'm loving #BFIPlayer, it has the films I want to watch in abundance.
I'm a world of bubblegum VOD durge it's a welcome level of quality.
Don't get me wrong, I like me some trash but you have to balance it out.
I watched #joyland in the #bfiplayer and it was so interesting and moving.
It's about a man in #pakistan who falls in love with a trans woman, but it's not only that.
If you have the #bfi supscription, it's being removed so hurry up (or search for it elsewhere, it's worth it) #filmsky #film #lgbtq+
Yesterday I ended my weekend watching "After love" in the BFI Player...
It was moving and gripping and if you like this genre, that subscription has a wonderful selection (I cannot praise their software, though).

Watching Hal Ashby’s 1973 movie ‘The Last Detail’ featuring Jack Nicholson at the peak of his acting powers. Watching via the #BFIPlayer
Emad Burnat in 2012 documentary 5 Broken Cameras
#DailyStream: the West Bank we don’t see on the news. Oscar-nominated 2012 doc #5BrokenCameras is a distressing portrait of everyday Palestinian life, where kids’ birthday parties are the same sort of ordinary events as Israeli soldiers arresting children. #Kanopy US, #BFIPlayer UK
Misty Upham and Melissa Leo in 2008's Frozen River
#DailyStream: desperate women, desperate measures. Courtney Hunt’s 2008 film #FrozenRiver, with an incredible Melissa Leo, straddles moralities, gender motivations, and ideas of poverty and despair in such a way that you’re not sure, by the end, what’s “right” and what isn’t. #Hulu US, #BFIPlayer UK
The Mole Agent
#DailyStream: finding necessary purpose in elderhood. Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberdi’s Oscar-nom'd doc #TheMoleAgent -- about a man who goes undercover in a nursing home to suss out possible abuse -- is an unusual combination of clever and touching. #Hulu #Kanopy US, #BFIPlayer #DogwoofOnDemand UK
Censor
The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: meta horror about how scary movies infect us. 2021's ambiguous, introspective #Censor examines on multiple levels how we digest horror movies, and how they linger with us. #Kanopy #Hulu US, #BFIPlayer #CurzonHomeCinema UK
"Juan Diego Escobar Alzate’s luminously left-field Colombian feature is an ambiguous fable of faith and fanaticism": the morally untethered, magical realist LUZ: THE FLOWER OF EVIL (2019) is now on #BFIPlayer projectedfigures.com/2022/05/22/l...
"a dark Christmas parable of projection and performance, where art is sacrifice": Fabrice Du Welz's CALVAIRE (2004) is available on #BFIPlayer from today projectedfigures.com/2014/08/17/c...
Untamed true story: Rodrigo Sorogoyen's THE BEASTS ( As Bestas, 2022) gives a real-life saga of simmering masculine violence a feminine tailspin. Now on #BFIPlayer. Full review for #LittleWhiteLies lwlies.com/reviews/the-...
"Its whole outlook on human desire is jaded and cynical, and yet the tone is breezily charming throughout. Here, love is bittersweet all round."
Max Ophüls' LA RONDE (1950), on #BFIPlayer from today projectedfigures.com/2019/05/27/l...
Watched The Wicker Man for the first time in 20 years on #BFIPlayer. Still shocking, so weirdly beautiful, so fascinating, such a gorgeous print. @BFI / @Roku
