Nearly every film is available to stream for the full duration of the festival, beginning on Friday, April 9 at 12:01 am and ending on Sunday, April 18 at 11:59 pm (PDT). There are only a few exceptions to this:

All films are subject to viewing capacity limits and will become unavailable after that limit is reached.

Are there geographical restrictions limiting where a film can be viewed from?

All films presented at our festival are only viewable in the US. The following films are only viewable in the state of California:

  • Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go For It
  • Street Gang

Our live talks may be viewed from anywhere!

Are closed-captions available?

Closed captioning is usually available on event recordings 3–5 days after the event. To request accommodations for a specific event, please e-mail ada@sffilm.org.

Can I watch live talks on my Roku or Apple TV?

In order to keep live talks free, accessible, and open to audience engagement, these are all hosted on SFFILM.org. This means they cannot be viewed using Roku or Apple TV. To watch conversations on your TV, you will need to connect your computer or device to your TV via HDMI cable, Chromecast, or AirPlay.
