In the vast ocean of streaming platforms, where giants like Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video dominate, a less-known yet culturally rich platform is making waves – CaixaForum+. This platform, far from the mainstream radar, offers a diverse and free selection of content, from intriguing documentaries to cinema gems, all under a cultural umbrella.
CaixaForum+: More Than Just a Cultural Platform
Initially marketed with the slogan “Download the app and discover the culture that awaits you,” CaixaForum+ might sound like a niche platform catering solely to a specific audience. However, its offering extends beyond just educational content. With a growing support for cinema, this platform is breaking the stereotype of being a resource only for academic purposes. It’s a cultural haven where movies and documentaries coexist, appealing to a broader audience.
Free Access to a World of Content
The most appealing aspect of CaixaForum+ is its accessibility – it’s free with just a simple registration, and you don’t need to be a client of La Caixa bank to enjoy it. This initiative by Fundación La Caixa is a welcoming gesture, opening up a world of content to all interested users.
Navigating CaixaForum+: A Treasure Trove of Diverse Content
Once registered, users can explore a vast array of content on CaixaForum+. From series to concerts, operas, and even podcasts, there’s something for everyone. While the platform doesn’t have a dedicated ‘cinema’ category, users can delve into a selection of films through the ‘Themes’ menu. The catch with their movie offerings is their limited availability, but the quality and variety make up for it.
A Unique Blend of Films and Documentaries
The film selection on CaixaForum+ is notable. For instance, the platform featured classics like the 1939 hit “You and I” for Valentine’s Day. These movies often come with the option of enjoying them in their original version with subtitles, thanks to partnerships with film production companies. The platform also teases the addition of Spanish cinema classics, expanding its repertoire.
Beyond Films: A Cultural Expedition
But CaixaForum+’s allure doesn’t end with films. The platform is a treasure trove for documentary enthusiasts, covering unique and hard-to-find topics like video games and music. The concert offerings are a bonus, providing access to high-quality musical performances.
