Many foreign cinema fans have particular blogs they frequent. These brief, daily updates potentially can generate re-posting and linking. Often, blogging also gives fans a chance to discuss the film and other similar works.

Some film-oriented websites offer marketing tools for international film distributors. These sites offer a forum to generate user interest and discussion through previews, information, and sometimes the entire movie, free to view for the enthusiast. The filmmakers and the audience are able to review and discuss these projects.

In the past few years, social media networks have become fast-moving marketing tools. International movie fans who seek out the best in foreign film inevitably share their favorites with friends and other fans. If someone reads about a friend enjoying a particular film, that person is more likely to seek out that movie as well.

Anyone interested in foreign cinema need go nowhere but to international entertainment and news sites. Someone in Chicago or San Francisco can easily find out what is being said about the latest releases in Tokyo or New Delhi. Views and reviews can be watched and shared with friends in yet another part of the globe.
