Please note that unlike some other film festivals, CEFF does not support watching films on the Apple TV or Roku apps.
Can I watch a film in more than one location?
You can only view your film on one wifi network or internet connection. Once you start your stream in one location, you cannot continue viewing it in another location or on a different network. For example, if you start watching at home and try to restart at a friend’s house. Alternately, you can only use different devices in one location if they are using the same network. For example, if you start watching on a TV and switch to a tablet or laptop, they both need to be connected to the same wifi network.
Do I need to be in a specific province to watch a film?
Some films are geo-restricted to Alberta, and others are geo-restricted to Canada. This information is indicated on the film page. To purchase and watch a film, you must be in Alberta / Canada. Our ticketing system Showpass tracks your IP and will ask you for your postal code at checkout to determine if you are outside of the province. You will not be able to buy a ticket or watch a film if you are not in Alberta / Canada.
