Beamafilm
Beamafilm streams independent stories on film to discerning audiences around the world. With social fragmentation on the rise and information access dominated by the interests of corporations, independent channels are increasingly important.
Their movies tackle humanity's toughest questions and enlighten audiences with enduring optimism. By representing ideas that matter in a range of important disciplines Beamafilm reaches thinkers and doers in the fields of technology, entertainment, design, science, humanities, business and development.
Not only will their growing collection help to change the way you see the world but they help to champion local voices in a streaming landscape that is otherwise overwhelmed with mainstream, international content.
