About Burning Bright: New French Filmmakers (June 16–August 3, 2020)

Burning Bright, FIAF’s annual summer celebration of emerging French and Francophone voices in cinema, is back for a fourth year. Running from Tuesday, June 16 through Monday, August 3, the series will present seven new feature films from a crop of exciting directors.

For the first time, this popular CinéSalon series will take place online, allowing even greater access to these films and increased visibility for these remarkable new talents. From poignant if unconventional coming-of-age tales to examining relationships between elected officials and their communities, this year’s series includes four US premieres and one NY premiere.

A new film will be posted each Tuesday on Kino Now and will remain available for one week. Films will be free for FIAF Members and $12 per film for Non-Members. Head to the FIAF website to learn more.

Kino Marquee is a new initiative that creates "virtual cinemas" for temporarily closed independent theaters. It lets audiences see at home newly released films that these theaters would otherwise be playing on the big screen, and which are not yet available on other digital platforms. 

Join us in supporting your community's theater in these uncertain times by buying a virtual “ticket” to watch award-winning international films, acclaimed documentaries, and restored classics on Kino Marquee. You’ll be directly supporting your local art house as all revenue is being shared between distributor and exhibitor just as if you bought your ticket at the theater's box office.

To get your ticket, click the Screen button above. You’ll have to register for an account if you don’t already have one. After you’ve entered your payment information, your rental period will start immediately and last for five days. You can watch the film as many times as you want in those five days.

You can watch on your computer, phone, or most tablets. You can also download the Kino Now app for Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, or Apple TV (tvOS 9.0 or later). See below for more detailed information about app-based viewing options. All viewing methods require high bandwidth internet connection.

You must first purchase the film from your theater’s virtual cinema page on Desktop or Mobile. After doing that, please follow these steps to install the Kino Now app on your Apple TV (requires tvOS 9.0 or later).

Important: You will need to log in using the same email address and password you just created.

To install the Kino Now app for Apple TV, search for “Kino Now” in the app store and follow the instructions for installation.

Once installed, open the app and click the “Sign In” button. The app will ask for your email and Kino Now password.

Let’s work together to keep all independent theaters healthy in this time of great uncertainty.
