SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 01/18/12 — , the premiere online destination for watching and sharing exceptional films, today unveiled an iPad app as a new way for members to discover and enjoy some of the world-s best movies. Fandor on iPad gives members access to Fandor-s curated library of over one thousand independent and international films and makes it easy to share them with friends on Facebook and Twitter.
Fandor caters to both independent film fans and mainstream movie lovers with one of the web-s largest collections of entertaining films that celebrate a love of cinema.

By leveraging Facebook for frictionless sharing, Fandor allows members to help spread the word about movies they love.
