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.
