Virtual Screening FAQ

I registered for a screening on Eventbrite but I did not receive a video link.

The video links are emailed to Eventbrite registrants on the day of the program (at approx. 8 a.m. and again at 3:30 p.m., Pacific Time). If you do not receive an email from Eventbrite, please check your email filters. Here is a guide on what to check when you don’t receive Eventbrite emails.

The video links are also posted on our website, Eventbrite listings and Twitter 30 minutes before each screening.

Are the screenings available for viewing after the livestream?

In many cases, the film and television screenings are one-time live presentations. Please check our website for details about a specific screening. The introductions and conversations are available for repeat viewing after the livestream on our Vimeo channel.

Do I need to register on Eventbrite to attend a screening?

Registration is not required, but it may be useful to receive event reminders and communications about potential program changes and technical issues.

Do you provide closed captioning?

We are working to provide real-time closed captioning and appreciate your patience.

Many of our past virtual conversations with guest speakers are availabe on our Vimeo channel with closed captions.
