Voila! You can watch all the movies to which you have access right here on your computer or tablet.
Things to keep in mind:
Most films and events will be available October 9-14, and you can choose to watch anytime on those dates. Once you click play, you will have 48 hours to complete the film you have selected. (The exception is one film, FIREBALL: VISITORS FROM DARKER WORLDS, which has a 6-hour watch window.)
Select films (THE CLIMB, GUNDA, THE FATHER, THE TRUFFLE HUNTERS, I CARRY YOU WITH ME, MINARI, and NINE DAYS) are only available at scheduled times and each have two separate 3-hour watch windows. You must complete watching these films during this three-hour window; after that time, the film will no longer be available. View this schedule and plan accordingly.
Certain films are only available to watch in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts: NINE DAYS, THE TRUFFLE HUNTERS, THE CLIMB, THE FATHER, I CARRY YOU WITH ME. If you are outside this viewing area, the films will not be available to you.
Whatever the watch window length, you can only watch each movie once; after the watch window has ended, that film will no longer be available to you.
Every film will have a transparent watermark on the top left of the screen; this is required for anti-pirating purposes. It will look like this:
