The concept

How Festival Front Row works

Explore selections from partner film festivals, online. Watch curated film programmes from home during each festival's screening window, while supporting the filmmakers.

STEP 1

Festivals curate the programme

Our partner festivals choose which films and programmes to make available through Festival Front Row.

STEP 2

The programme goes online

Selected programmes are available on Genera Player for a limited time. Each festival page shows the screening dates and any viewing restrictions.

STEP 3

Choose your programme and watch

Choose a curated film block, purchase access and watch from home. Check the individual festival page for its viewing availability window.

STEP 4

Support filmmakers and festivals

Revenue from your purchase is shared with the filmmakers and the partner festival, after applicable fees and taxes.
