LiberatedFilms focuses on creating exposure for independent film makers beyond the usual film circuits and traditional publicity venues.</p>
<p>At the same time it’s a nice way for film fans to find new work without having to wade through the overwhelming amount of video available on more traditional video sharing sites like YouTube. LiberatedFilms is not for posting videos of your cat chasing string, it’s a bit more highbrow than that.</p>
<p>To keep the quality of the site high, all uploaded films are screened and reviewed by a panel of filmmakers before they are made public. Of course this means there are less films posted everyday, but it also means you don’t have to wade through the massive amount of not-so-great content found on more public sites.</p>
<p>At the moment there are only 41 films and 62 members, but keep in mind when we say just launched we mean just launched as in hours ago.</p>
<p>Casual browsers can watch films in low-fi broadcast similar in quality to the best of what you see on YouTube, but LiberatedFilms also offers a hi-res alternative (for some films). Unfortunately but you’ll have to pay to access the hi-res versions; a one month membership is $4.99, but buying long subscriptions drop the rates somewhat. Of course keep in mind that not all films are available in the higher resolution format.</p>
<p>The remainder of LiberatedFilms functions like a typical social site, you can sign up for an account, reviews and rate films, leave comments for other members and more. There is also nice tagging support and browsing by genre.</p>
<p>As for the films, I only had time to watch two and while neither of them were exactly what I would call groundbreaking, they were light years better than the average YouTube upload. If you’re a film nut, keep an eye on this one it could prove interesting.</p>
