A large slate of new and returning films arrives on streaming in September, with several titles landing in the coming days. A historic Canadian indie, Winter Kept Us Warm, receives an official streaming premiere timed to its 60th anniversary; the film is a queer-cinema landmark directed by David Secter about University of Toronto students Doug and Peter, shot guerilla-style for $8,000 across Toronto and long buried from mainstream attention. Several classic and popular films return to Netflix, and Warwick Thornton's The New Boy features Cate Blanchett in a role that explores crises of faith and assimilation.
