Xbox adds IndieFlix

Microsoft Xbox has linked up with independent film and documentary streaming service IndieFlix to launch an app that offers access to the latter’s library of content.

Xbox Live Gold subscribers in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand can now watch the IndieFlix library of films, independent shorts, features, documentaries and web series through their Xbox 360.

“The sheer size of the Xbox market catapults indies into the limelight,” said Scilla Andreen, IndieFlix CEO and co-founder. “Independent filmmakers will have unprecedented exposure for their work, and indie film lovers will have access to movies from film festivals around the globe.”

The IndieFlix app will feature a rotating collection of movies that can be watched for free on Xbox, in addition to full access through an IndieFlix membership.
