Because it's now impossible to go see a movie in theaters, movies are coming to you via virtual cinema. Among the new releases in the U.S., 5 of the films are French.

To watch a movie through virtual cinema, you just need to buy a ticket through a theater offering this service, as some of the proceeds go to the theater. Don't worry, even if the film isn't available through one of your local theaters, you have access to all virtual showtimes throughout the country! 

Liberté  is a singular cinematic experience that only Albert Serra could deliver; a film in which increasingly dramatic acts of pain and pleasure unfold in counterpoint to cinematographer Artur Tort’s luminous images of moonlit sylvan spaces. As Serra and his committed team of regular performers and newcomers "open the gates of Hell" and explore the limits of the erotic imagination, you won’t be able to look away. The movie is now playing at Film at Lincoln Center's virtual cinema, and many other virtual theaters across the US starting May 8th. Stream the film here.
