Where am I? What is Vurchel anyway? 👀

Many independent and student films are truly amazing! But these films rarely get the attention they deserve.

To fix this we've created Vurchel. Here we are collecting all the independent cinema in one convenient place, where you can watch most of the films for free.

Never miss out on a film you're interested in!

Most films are available online only 2-3 years after they have screened at festivals. It can be tough to track them down, but Vurchel makes it easy! Simply press the heart icon next to a film title, and we'll send you an email notification as soon as that film is available for online streaming!

Start tracking your favorite festival films with Vurchel!

BTW, you can help us! 🙏

Fan of independent cinema? Let's spread the love together!

We're looking for volunteers to contribute by adding films to our database. It's easy!

We also welcome volunteers with skills in development, design, social media, and product management.

Come be a part of our mission to celebrate the talent of independent filmmakers!

I want to help!
