Students now have access to more than 8,000 movies to stream online through a new database offered by Mossey Library.

IndieFlix, a compilation of mainly independent films, offers students unique entertainment options digitally whenever they want and wherever they are, Technical Services Librarian LeAnne Rumler said.

“It’s very reasonably priced,” Rumler said. “It’s just different from normal type of stuff that we have in the collections. It’s a good blend of entertainment and fun.”

Students can access IndieFlix on the library’s website and in the student activities newsletter. For no charge, they can create their own account.

With a similar interface to Netflix, students can browse movies by film festival, including the Sundance and Chicago International Film festivals. They can also sort flicks by genre, country of origin, language, and duration.
