We are excited to announce this year’s festival will be a completely virtual experience so our supporters and friends can safely enjoy films and Q&As from anywhere in the United States. Join us online for 21 films and 13 conversations with filmmakers and film subjects over 10 days in October. Get more information on the ACT Human Rights Film Festival website.

Virtual Festival Overview 

We are using Eventive, a virtual festival platform, to host our event. Join us from anywhere in the United States.  Watch our video tutorial on how to access the platform and navigate the site.

Here’s what you need to know: 

• In order to buy tickets or passes, you’ll need to create an account (or log-in with Facebook).  
• All films and filmmaker Q&As will be accessible through the Eventive site, or through their streaming app on your smart TV (available on Roku or Apple TV). Note: the live broadcast Q&As will not be streamed live through the TV app.  
• Most films will be available to watch throughout the ten-day festival. Some are limited to a few days.  
• Once you start watching a film you have 24 hours to finish. We have scheduled six watch parties with live filmmaker. Q&As so we can watch all together even though we are safely apart. Can’t make it? Don’t worry, we will post the Q&As later. 
• We have pre-recorded interviews with seven other filmmakers.
