Spotlight
Wondering which films to watch? Spotlight presents thematically grouped, must see films, hand-picked by Fandor's curators.
Visionary Pictures
At Fandor we believe movies are movies, across the board. We’ll watch the latest action film in an IMAX theater and compare it (with gusto) to Italian neorealism. Cinema for Fandor means everything and we all have fond memories of discovering this mammoth passion in small theaters where our shoes stuck to the floor as we watched the latest foreign, independent, or classic arthouse films that shaped us from our early days into adulthood. Okay, maybe that’s just us, but if it’s you too, then whether you are a cinephile or novice movie lover, pop some popcorn, make a cappuccino and enjoy this Spotlight full of arthouse films.
