Kanopy has some real indie gems you have probably never heard of.

I’ll offer three selections on Kanopy that I enjoyed: 😊

1)The Eight Mountains. LOVED this one. A beautiful indie film with stunning photography. Shot in the Italian Alps, Turin, and Nepal. (Languages: English, Nepali, and Italian) About the evolving friendship between two boys, and then men, who meet at the base of the Italian Alps.

2) Infinite Storm. Based on a true story, which is always compelling. With Naomi Watts. An experienced mountain climber gets caught in a blizzard on Mt. Washington. Encounters a stranded man and takes it upon herself to get them both down the mountain. Gripping stuff.

3)Obit. The documentary about New York Times' obituary writers.

I knew about these three films prior to them appearing on Kanopy, but I've also found quirky and entertaining films through random selections on the app. (A few duds here and there, but not many.)
