Our favourite local, indie cinema is not to be forgotten during lockdown. Academy Cinemas has created an On Demand website where you can rent a selection of critically acclaimed and captivating movies. The picks are curated, where the staff have chosen their favourites, or you can browse through categories of director, theme, or era. Support local instead of watching a low-quality streaming version or profiting huge corporations.
Do you want to stay up to date with the happenings of the world in a compact, accessible, and engaging way? The Daily is a podcast produced by The New York Times, twenty minutes each, 5 episodes a week. The news around the world is pretty bleak and hard to take in, from climate collapse to the horrors of Afghanistan, but it’s still important to be up to date.
