Once you purchase tickets, you can also access the films by clicking the Launch button next to each film on the Upcoming Events page of our website.
What You Need to Know Before You Get Started
If you purchased an individual film, you will receive a voucher number, which you should enter under Ticket Holders on the Watch Portal page. If you purchased a two-film pass, go to the Pass/Member Login section of the Watch Portal page and enter the email address you used when you purchased the pass, as well as the password you created. (You will not receive a voucher number if you purchased a pass.) Alternatively, you can click here and click on Launch Film for the film you wish to see.

Why does video playback stall or not play smoothly?
We use adaptive bitrate streaming which means the streaming quality will automatically adjust based on your internet speed. If your internet connection is poor or inconsistent you may experience problems during playback. If you’re on wifi, try moving closer to your router.

You likely have “Screen Mirroring” turned on in your device settings. Please turn off the screen mirroring setting and start AirPlay by selecting the AirPlay button () in the bottom right-hand side of the player.
Why do I see a black screen after the pre-roll if I am casting to Chromecast?
Some Chromecast versions cannot support transitions from one video to another. If this happens, turn off casting and re-start it once the film starts playing.
Can I buy tickets on one device and watch from a different device?
For easier access to the film, the streaming company recommends you purchase tickets from the same device on which you’ll be watching the film.
Can I stream a film on my TV even if it’s not a “smart” TV?
As an online film series, Always on Sunday on Demand was designed for viewing on laptops, phones or tablets. If you prefer to watch on TV, however, you can use Chromecast or the Roku TV or Apple TV apps and select the Hellenic Film Society app on these platforms. If you don’t have Roku TV or Apple TV or Chromecast and you wish to watch our films on your TV, we recommend using an HDMI cable to connect your laptop/computer to your TV set, then select the HDMI option on your TV to begin watching.
