OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION



  • Subtitles will be read aloud through headphones at in-person screenings for non-English language films for younger children and those with reading issues.



  • The schedule is subject to change, so please check our Facebook page for the latest information.


  • Most of the shorts programs will be available for streaming online starting at 12:01 AM on Saturday, January 20, until 11:59 PM on Sunday, January 21. You will have until 11:59 PM on Sunday, January 21, to start watching the online films (so you could "unlock" all your films right before then), and you will have 48 hours in which to finish them once you start watching (so until Tuesday, January 23, if you start watching on January 22). You can also watch a film as many times as you want during a 48 hour window.


  • How to view films online: you can either watch directly on your computer or connect your laptop or standalone computer to your TV to approximate a cinema experience. For advice on how to do that, click on "Need Help" in the upper right hand corner of Eventive's web page or go directly here
