What’s the difference between a “streaming window” and a “viewing window”? Once I start watching a film, how long do I have to finish it?

The “streaming window” is the duration of availability for a film during the Doc Stories festival. The “viewing window” is the 24-hour window to finish a film once you click “Stream Film”. Please note that the “streaming window” supercedes the “viewing window.” Regardless of what time you begin streaming a film on the day it becomes available during Doc Stories, it will become unavailable at 11:59pm that night.
