Much like other independent distributors, such as Kino Lorber, Oscilloscope is attempting to figure out how to continue to make money during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, while also ensuring that the theaters that showcase indie films can survive the extended shutdown. However, Oscilloscope is offering something a bit different than the competition, as the distributor aims to attract all film fans to a new deal that provides some of the best indie films at a ridiculously low price, while also benefiting the struggling cinemas.
Oscilloscope recently announced a deal called “Circle of Quarantine,” which aims to provide quality entertainment for those stuck at home, while simultaneously helping arthouse theaters. The way it works is simple—for the price of $49.99, US film fans can choose 10 films from the Oscilloscope library to digitally download (forever, not just rent), and as a by-product of the sale, the distributor will donate $10 to the Cinema Workers Solidarity Fund, which aims to support the workers that are losing their wages due to the coronavirus shutdown orders.

That means for roughly $5 apiece, you can own some of the best indie films of the last several years, including projects such as “Meek’s Cutoff,” “12 O’Clock Boys,” “Madeline’s Madeline,” “Hal,” “Sollers Point,” and much, much more. That’s a really great deal, with the benefit of helping people who need financial support right now.
The deal is available now on the Oscilloscope website.
