Sling TV is a unique website that offers live television to Internet users. Through this site, users can avoid paying the cable subscription fees that is necessary to view programmes on normal television sets. Sling is now appealing to movie buffs as they can now watch more than three hundred independent films from festivals like Cannes, Sundance and SXSW, thanks to the integration of the channel with the Fandor Festival application.

Customers can also watch unique documentaries from around the world that are not easily available on cable television or the Internet.

For independent films and documentaries, customers would pay an additional $5 per month for the Hollywood Extra package. This cost would be added to Sling packages like the Sling Orange that charges $20 per month or the Sling Blue that has a subscription of $25 per month.

Sling is a subsidiary of the popular Dish TV network. It streams live television on the Internet. Now internet users can enjoy films that are shown in film festivals and art documentaries without leaving their desktop.

Sling is also adding four new Starz channels to its $9 per month Starz subscription that offers a kid and family channel, an action movie channel, comedy channel, and a channel dedicated to Westerns.

Even without any subscription, Fandor Festival offers five free movies per month to customers of Sling base packages. Starz channel mostly deals with mainstream movies while the Fandor Festival shows independent films like the comedy The Animal Project and documentaries like The Decline of Western Civilization 2, The Metal Years.
