Virtual Cinema Platform FAQ

During our Covid-19 closure, Park City Film has created a Virtual Cinema so that our film loving community can continue to watch our curated selection of Independent Films from the safety of their homes. We remain committed to creating community through film, even though for now, those films will be on a smaller screen.

We aim to provide a trouble-free viewing experience with our Virtual Cinema and have collected some helpful tips below that we hope will help. If you have more general Virtual Cinema questions, please check out our Virtual Cinema FAQ page.

You can watch on your computer, phone, or tablet, or cast to your Google Chromecast or Smart TV.

1. The first time you “purchase a film”  you will be asked to register. This will require your name, email, and a password.
2. Once you have created a password, you may need to re-enter it to purchase. You do not need to “register” again with each purchase.
3. Refresh your browser if you’re having difficulty during the process of login to the site. You may also try another browser if you are having trouble.
4. Once your film shows on the site, you can watch it any time within the 48hr window from purchase.
5. Your personal home internet speed will determine the quality of watching the film. If the film pauses to “catch-up,” you may try watching the film during non-peak hours of internet use in your neighborhood.
