When it comes to VOD and streaming services, none cater to the arthouse, indie crowd (you guys) like Fandor.com. With over 5,000 titles geared toward independent, international, and obscure film lovers, it’s one of the key supporters of today’s independent film market.

Now, the San Francisco-based company (that’s just recently expanded into Canada) has announced a partnership with Cinedigm, Factory 25, and Oscilloscope Labs, expanding their reach into the independent film scene even further. With these independent distributors now onboard, the already impressive film selection on the popular site should become even more tantalizing for film geeks like us.

From recent indie standouts like Amy Seimetz’s (Upstream ColorSun Don’t Shine, Andrew Bujalski’s Computer Chess, and Lucien Castaing-Taylor’s Leviathan (which we absolutely loved); to little-known gems like Velt Helmer’s Absurdistan; to even the old films of Georges Melies, the site has got tons of great finds for the hardcore cinephile to discover.

“Following our expansion into Canada in September, film acquisitions have accelerated accordingly,” says Jonathan Marlow, Fandor co-founder and Chief Content Officer in a recent press release. “Over the last few weeks, we have added many invaluable partnerships to an already exceptional portfolio of distributors, aggregators and individual filmmakers.”

Here’s a selection of films from the website, plus some upcoming releases:

New York independent film and music distributor Factory 25 has acquired rights to mumblecore god Joe Swanberg‘s (Drinking BuddiesAll the Light in the Sky, starring Jane Adams (Hung.) Adams plays Marie, a middle-aged actress living in Malibu who’s struggling to find work in the twilight of her career. When her young niece (Sophia Takal) comes to visit her waterfront home, Marie feels compelled to confront her midlife insecurities, mostly involving trust issues with men.

All the Light in the Sky was one of our favorite films from SF Indiefest earlier this year, and we’re very glad it got picked up. The film also stars several Swanberg regulars including Simon Barrett, Kent Osborne, Larry Fassenden, Ti West, and more.

Factory 25 will release the film on VOD and iTunes on December 3rd, with a theatrical run in New York following shortly thereafter on December 20th.

Watch the trailer for All the Light in the Sky:
