The San Francisco Film Society (SFFS) has introduced mobile apps that allow SFFS members to stream movies from the 59th San Francisco International Film Festival.
sffsMembers can access feature films, shorts and events on Apple TV and their iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads. The new apps coincide with the re-launching of the society’s Online Screening Room Web platform, which gives access to more than ten Festival films, red carpet interviews, Q&As with film festival talent and behind-the-scenes content from the 2016 Festival, which takes place from 21 April to 5 May.
The Web platform and app have been created in association with FORA.tv, a San Francisco-based video production and marketing company.
“This more robust Online Screening Room and the new apps will make it more convenient for Film Society members to enjoy highly curated global cinema, anytime, anywhere,” said Noah Cowan, executive director of the San Francisco Film Society. “We host the longest-running film festival the Western Hemisphere, but we keep innovating. We’re excited to offer one of the richest online film festival experiences in the industry, to meet the ravenous cinematic appetites of our loyal audiences.”
The society will provide enhanced programming for the Online Screening Room, including at least one new feature-length film per month, plus shorts and videos from Film Festival events past and present.
