It's been a wild time for limited-time streaming screenings--I'm curious how people are keeping track of what comes up, is there a centralized listing anywhere? Most of what crosses my radar gravitates toward arthouse/experimental stuff, but early on in the pandemic there was that amazing few days when the Spanish Film Archive put up Jess Franco's Vaya luna de miel, and now that Cinephobe.tv is back in action, they have gloriously eclectic programming.
Just this week I came across the National Gallery of Art's NYC experimental shorts collaboration with Film-Makers' Coop and William E. Jones' The Fall of Communism as Seen in Gay Pornography at the last second, and tomorrow at noon east coast US time is the rare 1971 video documentary Transsexuals.
Oh, and UCLA Film and Television Archive had a neat hourlong set of shorts related to the 1970 Chicano Moratorium against the Vietnam War, which I believe stays up through next Monday--modest but rare work here including a local TV show dealing with generational tension within a Chicano family, not the greatest material ever shot but historically valuable.
I think I know of all of these only from spending too much time on Facebook and Twitter though--what else should people be looking out for, and where?
