What You Need to Know Before You Get Started

For information about how to stream, the kinds of devices you can use, etc., please click here for Frequently Asked Questions.
Two films will be available for viewing 24/7, beginning the first Sunday of the month until the first Sunday of the following month, when we will begin streaming two new films. On the rare occasion where a film is shown at a specific time, times listed are US Eastern Standard Time.
Individual films cost $8. Special double feature tickets cost $14 for both films. Either film can be watched any time during the month and need not be watched in one sitting. Ticket prices include all fees.
Once you purchase an individual film ticket, you will receive a Virtual Access email from CineSend, the streaming company, with a link and voucher code to watch your film. If you don’t receive the link, please check all your email folders, including spam and junk.

Once you purchase a two-film pass, you will receive a confirmation email from Elevent, followed by two emails (one for each film) containing a voucher number and Watch Portal Access information. Be sure to check all your email folders, including spam and junk.

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.
Once you initiate viewing a film, you will have 72 hours to complete watching or rewatching it. (Please note the clock starts once you start watching—not once you purchase your ticket.) Once you start watching a film on a particular device, the technology does not allow you to pause and continue watching on a different device.
For easy access, we recommend that you purchase your ticket(s) from the device you plan to watch the film on. So if, for example, you plan to watch on your laptop, we recommend you buy tickets from your computer and not, for example, on your phone. If you prefer to cast the films to your TV, please see Frequently Asked Questions for information on how to do that.
Still having technical difficulties? Please email help@hellenicfilmusa.org. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. No refunds or exchanges will be given, except in the case of a program cancellation.

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.

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 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.
