Independent films are increasingly distributed online. The question is: which are the platforms and links where one can find European films with unusual, high quality soundtracks?  Here are a few I am aware of:

• MUBI is a curated film website, where you can watch 30 films a month, whereby every day a new one comes online and one drops off at the other end. According to wikipedia:  MUBI (formerly The Auteurs)  a global film website that integrates a subscription video-on-demand service, a database, and an online magazine known as The Notebook. It has been described as an "online cinematheque", and is available in over 200 territories in the world. The service focuses on international arthouse cinema.
• BFI Player - The British Film Institute presents the best global cinema on-demand:
  From classic and contemporary films to the best of the BFI National Archive.

Does anyone know about online cinematheques in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Czech Republic or Russia?
