Twitch is an ideal service when it comes to broadcasting gameplay sessions and other live events that amass a huge following by gamers and other audience members everywhere. For the next six weeks, however, it’ll become an online movie house.

Per an announcement on the company’s blog, the streaming channel is teaming up with Austin-based game publisher Devolver Digital to host an online movie event, with new films based around the game industry premiering every Friday, for audiences everywhere to see – free of charge.

Starting today and running through February 20th, Twitch will be host to such films as Stream Dream, Pixel Poetry, Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie, Gaming In Color and Super Game Jam: The Movie, with a sixth film to be announced before February 20th.

In addition to the film, filmmakers will also be on the channel, live chatting with the hosts and interacting with the audience.

“Twitch represents a new frontier for filmmakers looking to connect with an audience who is passionate about video game culture,” said Ben Goldhaber, director of content marketing for Twitch. “Devolver Digital is the perfect example of a studio who understands the appeal of Twitch’s social video format by both documenting our brand in Stream Dream and scheduling broadcasts of half a dozen gaming films on our platforms.”

The films will premiere every Friday around 2:15 PM PST over on the main Twitch channel. The movies will also be made available for rental and download on several video-on-demand platforms, including Amazon, Google Play, PlayStation, Xbox and Vimeo On Demand.

Those looking to get a better perspective of online game culture – or just want to kick back and have fun with video game-related content – would be wise to catch these films in action. In addition, viewers can also learn a thing or two from the filmmakers as well.
