Free films for all! :)
Transfigured Time is a Discord server that functions as a resource for sharing streams of films that can be viewed for free online (YouTube, Vimeo, etc). We primarily focus on searching for obscure filmmakers, experimental cinema, and rare/hidden gems, but we've found and posted several more popular films as well (though, with a small handful of exceptions, far from what most would classify as "mainstream").
This is a list of all the films we've currently found to stream from various sources.
All links are posted in corresponding categories in the server, so if you join you can simply use the search bar to find most things at a moment's notice. (***I update this list about…

The server also offers:
- A large, intuitive archive of experimental filmmakers who have released a sizeable amount of their work online for free, with links to both their Letterboxd filmography pages and where to view their films (as well as a brief bio of the creator).
- Ever-growing resource channels with links to sites where a variety of films can be viewed legally (NFB, ubu, YouTube channels) as well as links to temporary streams for limited-time screenings and events (these aren't always free).
We're open to the public, and contributions are welcome from anyone! If you join and would like to post, please familiarize yourself with our posting guidelines so that we can remain an environment with safe links/sources, and ultimately spread the word on (mostly) obscure films and view them in a *legal manner (see below).
*Disclaimer: Regarding the legality of copyrighted material posted on YouTube or any of the sites on which these videos can be found, we are NEVER held liable for sharing them; it's upon the website in question to remove such content at their discretion, and we're fully prepared to modify our lists/database accordingly.

Oh, and feel free to just use this list on its own, but bear in mind that a handful of films here are unlisted on YouTube (requiring a specific link), or posted more obscure streaming sources that won't appear in a normal Google search (blogs, specialty websites, etc). With that said, please don't report missing or deleted films in the comment section of this list; check the server first, and if our links aren't working, you can report it to us there in a specific channel designed to help us keep this list as accurate as possible.
P.S. This list is highly volatile; videos are constantly being removed from their streaming sources, and there's no way I can be on top of everything that disappears until someone brings it to my attention and I update the list. There is no guarantee that what you find on this list is still available to watch!
P.S. #2 Since a handful of people have asked, the name and server icon are both references to director Maya Deren, often considered among the most influential and innovative figures in avant-garde cinema history.
