In recent years, streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime have transformed the way we watch movies.
More and more people now prefer the convenience of watching films from home, which has started to influence how movies are produced and released globally. In Slovakia, the rise of streaming platforms has also affected the local film industry and cultural scene.
Slovak films are becoming more accessible to a global audience, and Erasmus students living abroad can easily stay connected to their home country's culture through these platforms. However, some people still feel that the traditional cinema experience offers something unique that streaming cannot replicate.
As Erasmus students living abroad, do you think streaming services make it easier to explore the film industries and cultures of other countries, or do you believe watching films in cinemas while abroad offers a more authentic cultural experience?
