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.
