FilmStruck Is (Almost) Dead; Long Live The New Criterion Collection Channel

OK, FilmStruck will soon be no more, and everyone who loves movies is pretty angry about that. But the Criterion Channel has decided – probably because of thousands of tweets, right? or the more than 50,000 people who signed a Change.org petition – to launch its own streaming service in the spring. “Like FilmStruck, Criterion Channel will have its own supplemental programming for movie buffs, featuring cinema luminaries and behind-the-scenes footage.”
