Wild & Scenic Has Gone Virtual!
For the last 18 years, we’ve welcomed you to Nevada County, CA, for the Wild & Scenic Film Festival every January. This year things are different, so we are bringing the festival to you! Between January 14 and 24, you will be able to watch the 2021 lineup of films from the comfort and safety of your home. We realize this will be a significant change for everyone, but we are here to help guide you through this new experience.
With the festival occurring over 11 days rather than five days, we’ve worked to provide you with plenty of time to enjoy everything this year’s virtual event has to offer.
During the event, you will be able to enjoy all the Wild & Scenic programming on our virtual festival site: WSFF.EVENTIVE.ORG. We are thrilled to be working with Eventive to host our virtual festival. The platform allows for beautiful video playback and a simple integration allowing for seamless ticket and passes purchasing. The virtual screening room (Coming Soon!) will show all the different content that will become accessible during the festival, including ticketed film sessions and free programming like workshops. The content will be available as on-demand content, available to enjoy on your schedule.
Once inside, you’ll be able to browse all film sessions, which are organized by theme tracks, just like how you’d experience our films in the theater. Rather than checking out individual films, we curated sessions for you to share a cinematic journey that links subject matter together in thoughtful ways and to encourage surprising connections. Once you purchase your pass or ticket and unlock your session, the films will play in succession for uninterrupted film viewing.
