FAQs for Virtual Festival

We are thrilled to offer over 65 films to view on our online streaming platform, TasveerTV! Access to the virtual film catalogue will run from October 16 – 22, 2023.

To view films online you will need to purchase either the ALL ACCESS PASS (grants you access to all virtual and in-person events), or the VIRTUAL PASS (access to watch films virtually only) or purchase a Single Ticket for each film.

Notes on Virtual Film Access:

  • Once you start viewing your film you will have 72 hours to complete it

Many films will be geo-blocked to specific locations, meaning they are only viewable from those specific locations. Please checkout the virtual catalog for more detail on each film.

When

Where

  • Most films will be available to watch worldwide
  • Some filmmakers will request that their films ONLY be viewable in certain areas, or that they be available everywhere EXCEPT in certain locations. This is called Geo-blocking. If you attempt to play a film and get an error message saying the title is not available in your location, it is because that film has been Geo-blocked. We apologize for any disappointment this may cause, but can assure you that plenty of titles will be available globally.
