How DOES THe Virtual Festival work?
Once all the films are announced you will be able to reserve films you would like to see. We’ll publish the Schedule, the Virtual Film Guide and Trailers for all the films.
All films will be available for 3-day (72 hour) “watch-windows” and you’ll have 24 hours to watch a film once you’ve unlocked it to begin viewing. You can only unlock films that are available during a “watch-window”.
Film watch windows will begin on Sunday March 5th at 7:00pm. The final group of films will be made available to unlock on Friday March 10th at 7:00pm.
We’ve found that reserving your films is a great way to make sure you don’t miss any of your must-sees. We will let all pass-holders know when they can begin reserving films.
We have unlimited “virtual seats” for each of our films, so you do not need to make reservations in order to use your passes or tickets.
