'Bar Boys,' 'Bliss' and other local films you can stream for free during quarantine

Instead of paying for an online streaming membership, why not enjoy some Philippine cinema online for free?

For your viewing pleasure during this enhanced community quarantine, we put together a list of local films you can devour as we wait for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) threat to pass.

Bar Boys

This comedy-drama follows the lives of four friends aspiring to become lawyers.

The full movie starring Rocco Nacino, Carlo Aquino, Kean Cipriano, and Enzo Pineda is now available on YouTube “with consent from the director and producers to hopefully help with the boredom of staying at home while on community quarantine.”

4 Days

This LGBTQIA+ movie by director Adolf Alix, Jr. starring Mikoy Morales and Sebastian Castro is available on Vimeo until April 7.

Mikoy shared the password “4days0214” in one of his posts on Instagram, where he also called for donations to aid some film workers who were affected by the enhanced community quarantine.
