Since gatherings are a big no-no this season, how about uncorking the bubbly (alcoholic or nonalcoholic) at home and ring in 2021 by watching a film available to stream from Bay Area indie theaters?
There s much to choose from. Here are five of your best bets. Driveways : Andrew Ahn s sophomore feature is my favorite film of 2020, an emotional salve for the rage-filled times in which we live. The late Brian Dennehy hits a career high as a lonely Korean War vet who befriends an ostracized and shy Korean American boy (Lucas Jaye) who just moved with his mother (Hong Chau) into his dead aunt s hoarder house. Ahn s film is a quiet, beautiful piece of transcendental art, a rewarding experience that says so much through its characters actions rather than their words. (Available t

Despite what you may have heard, movies were released in 2020. In fact, plenty of them were.
While many movie theaters big and small closed in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the film industry soldiered on, determined to release its bevy of content to the masses.
Not all of it, of course. Many of the big tent items a new James Bond film, Marvel’s “Black Widow,” a “Top Gun” sequel and much more were pushed to 2021 or taken off the release calendar entirely. And for some, that means there may as well have been zero movies released last year. And that’s fine, if those kinds of movies are your thing. But I’m here to tell you that 2020, against all odds, was a damn good year for film.
Twenty-twenty has been a year of disappointment for all of us except for Jeff Bezos, who gets to make money during a pandemic by exploiting his workers and avoiding taxes. Much has been said about the state of cinema this year and just how much of a disaster releases have been, what with arthouses and multiplexes alike having to close down for the safety of their workers and audiences alike. But this isn’t to say that there hasn’t been a lot of beauty in the world of film amid all the garbage we’ve faced.
With all of us stuck at home and new streaming options like the glorious HBO Max and the disastrous Quibi, the lines between what cinema actually is and isn t have started to blur together.

2020 vision: The year in film
Streaming services stepped up as viewers hunkered down, seeking connection
Uploaded: Tue, Dec 29, 2020, 11:26 am
2020 turned the world upside down in so many ways, causing upheaval to our every way of life.
Though movies are a relatively trivial example of the existential threat posed by COVID-19, Bay Area movie theaters were effectively shut down for most of the year, giving new life to socially-distanced drive-ins and a major shot in the arm to streaming services as Americans hunkered down in front of their TVs for their escapism. Disney+ emerged as a frontrunner in the streaming war and Quibi lost big, with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, AppleTV+ and others still hanging tough.
