What is an Online Screening?
An online screening means your film will be shown digitally through our secure, private festival platform. Only ticket holders will have access, and your film will not be publicly available to the general public.
Will my film be playing in a theater?
No, your film will be screened exclusively online this year. However, it will still be eligible for awards just like in-person screenings, and it allows your friends, family, and fans from anywhere in the world to celebrate your success from the comfort of their own screens.
When does the Online Festival take place?
The Online Festival will run from May 17 through May 25, 2025.
How does the online screening work?
Audiences will be able to purchase Online Festival tickets through our website. Once they have a ticket, they’ll receive private, secure access to the festival’s online screening portal.
