Virtual Festival FAQ

What is the Virtual Greenwich International Film Festival?

The Virtual GIFF is a new way for our audience to enjoy films they can’t see anywhere else from the comfort and safety of their homes. The 2020 Festival will take place online from May 1 to 3, and will include 29 Narrative & Documentary Features and Short Films from 8 countries, along with exclusive video messages from our filmmakers, and other special content.

How do I attend the Virtual Fest?

It’s simple – purchase a Virtual Pass or VIP Pass at www.greenwichfilm.org. Approximately one week before the Festival takes place, our team will reach out to set you up with a unique user log-in which will be activated May 1 to 3. No need to conform to a schedule - you can stream all of our Festival content day or night, at whatever time works best for you, from May 1st until 10pm on May 3rd.

PURCHASE A PASS

Will my pass help support GIFF?

Yes, a portion of proceeds from the pass helps to make the arts more accessible in our area. It allows GIFF, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization to attract top talent to the area, support filmmakers with cash awards, host free community events, and support charity partners.

How do I view the films?

You can experience the Virtual Festival on your computer, smartphone, or tablet using the secure log-in website information we’ll send you. If you want to stream the Festival films and content on your TV, no problem - you’d simply cast from your device to your Smart TV. If you have an Apple TV device, just enable AirPlay to stream on your TV.
