How To Watch Online Screenings

Please note all films in NYLFF Digital will stream LIVE on Eastern Standard Time. There will be no pause, rewind or stop capabilities. It is a completely live stream with q/a’s to follow right after.  You can enter the “theater” for your film a half–hour before the stream begins to set yourself up.
For security, you will only be able to watch the film from one source.
