Virtual screenings for passholders and individual ticket holders will be released and available on a timed schedule (coming soon). You can unlock the film screening within 48 hours of its release time, and you have 24 hours from the moment you unlock it to finish watching the film.

All films and virtual events can be viewed at watch.blackstarfest.org. If you have any trouble using the ticketing system or technical issues with your screenings, please visit watch.blackstarfest.org/help.

For technical support with virtual screenings, navigate to the bottom of this page to chat with an Eventive representative.

Official TV apps for streaming films will be available during the festival. Stay tuned for more info.

Audience award voting is limited to films which are available both online and in-person.

To cast your vote for a film via the watch platform, you must first “unlock” the screening and complete your viewing. After you are done watching you will be prompted to vote. You can also access the voting screen by navigating to the Tickets page within your account, after completing a screening.

Award winners will be announced on August 4.
