Montgomery County Public Libraries Announces Addition of IndieFlix

For Immediate Release: Tuesday, April 2, 2019

In partnership with RBdigital from Recorded Books, Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL) has announced the availability of online streaming movie service IndieFlix.

IndieFlix, which directly supports filmmakers by letting them earn money for every minute of video watched, brings engaging stories to movie lovers around the world. Through MCPL’s website, cardholders can enjoy unlimited free access to more than 8,000 high-quality shorts, features, documentaries, classic TV shows and Web series from 85 countries. Programming includes comedies, dramas, horror, documentaries, animations, classic TV, short films, and more than 40 other channels and genres.

“IndieFlix, with its focus on independent films, is a great addition to our slate of streaming services, and complements our Kanopy film-streaming service,” said Anita Vassallo, acting MCPL director.  “As a recent article said – “Forget Netflix and Hulu – your library is the new place to stream movies.”

IndieFlix also delivers films from major festivals all over the world, including Sundance, Cannes, and Tribeca. To find movies, customers simply search by language, genre or film length, and the “quickpick” feature allows them to sample movies like they would sample music.  IndieFlix can be accessed  on any internet-enabled computer, smartphone, or tablet with a Web browser, and movies are also available on Roku, Xbox and Apple TV.
