Viewing Information
While the Isolation International Film Festival enables you to watch the entries at your own pace, we have also proposed a viewing schedule for the more dedicated connoisseurs who wish to enjoy a wider selection of films. Following this schedule will also enable viewers to stay up to date with what everyone else is watching at any given time, and partake in live discussion threads after each screening.
All of the participating films can be found online. The majority are available on iTunes, Amazon and Netflix, though some are subject to country restrictions. A small handful will require you to dig a little deeper.
Please note we encourage all viewers to support the film industry and do not condone illegal streaming. The small price of renting out a film for your household is significantly less than what you would collectively pay at the cinema, but rewards filmmakers for their hard work and allows them to produce more content in future.
