FILM AVAILABILITY
Why are some films available longer than others? Availability is determined by filmmakers and distribution ie 24hr, 72hr, or longer

Please check carefully the Elevent listing (check film description/synopsis) for each film prior to purchasing your ticket and arranging your viewing of the film.

Why are some films only available in certain territories?
Certain films are geoblocked (only available to view in the UK and/or certain other territories).

This is in order to respect the filmmaker’s distribution wishes, and to maximise the film’s prospects for future distribution and screenings in the physical world.

Please ensure that you have checked the Elevent listing for each film prior to purchasing your pass/ticket, especially if you are currently residing outside of the UK.

What languages are the films available to view in?
Films that are not in English will be available to view as default with English subtitles (as per submission requirements of the festival).

Due to the diversity of Indigenous languages that feature in our Programme, we unfortunately cannot provide subtitles in languages other than English, except in a few instances where we have been provided with subtitles by the filmmakers (mostly for Spanish speakers). Please check each film for details.
