HOW TO WATCH AS A TICKET HOLDER

Thank you for purchasing a ticket to the
28th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival. 

One hour before the film or event you purchased becomes available to watch, you will receive an email from Elevent <donotreply@mail.goelevent.com> with an individual link and voucher code for that film or event. Use the instructions below to walk through the watch process.

Purchase tickets by Wednesday 10/14, and watch through Friday 10/16. 

Note: if you purchased tickets to multiple films and events, you will receive a separate email for each film or event. Here is a sample email:


WATCH VIA COMPUTER

To watch on your computer—or cast from your computer to your television using Chromecast or AirPlay—click the VIEW button in the email when you are ready to watch.

OR: visit watch.hamptonsfilmfest.org and enter the VOUCHER CODE in the box on the left (Tickets Holders):

Once you click PLAY, you will have 48 hours to complete the film, so do not click PLAY until you are ready to watch. After that time, the film will no longer be available to you.

Note: one film (FIREBALL: VISITORS FROM DARKER WORLDS) has a shorter, 6-hour watch window.

Things to keep in mind:

Most films and events will be available October 9-14, and you will receive your email one hour before the films become available in the Virtual Cinema platform.

The Opening Night Film WITH DRAWN ARMS begins streaming at 7pm on Thursday, October 8; you can click PLAY and begin your 48-hour watch window anytime after 7pm on October 8 through October 14.

The Closing Night Film ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI… begins streaming at 7pm on Monday, October 12; you can click PLAY and begin your 48-hour watch window anytime after 7pm on October 12 through October 14.

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. If you purchased a ticket to one of these films, you selected one of these times (3pm or 7pm), and you will have a 3-hour watch 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.

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:
