Films. They’re portals. Small cracks where grief, rage, beauty and the possibility of change seep in.  Every year, we curate films that matter and invite you to watch them with your community.  That’s why we created Watch Party: a simple way to gather wherever you are and let films do the talking. Stream ALT EFF films in your space, on your terms, with our carefully chosen lineup. We also provide a party-starter kit, exclusive filmmaker interviews, and sleek ALT EFF templates to get the conversation rolling.  It’s an invitation, thoughtful, non-preachy, to talk about the big issues (cough couch, climate collapse) without jargon or judgement.
