WHAT IS INCLUDED?Exclusive access to watch YOUR FAT FRIEND on the Kinema platform in the watch window feb 16-18CAN YOU MAKE THE FILM AVAILABLE TO STREAM FOR EVERYONE, NOW?We have some exciting plans in the pipeline that mean, due to legal rights constraints, we are unable to stream the film more widely, for now. But those constraints do allow us to sell tickets to an "at home, cinema-like experience." So we're doing just that! We made the film to show in cinemas first, because it deserves to be seen on the big screen.
ACTION ON TOURWe have been challenging cinemas and theaters to consider the needs of fat audiences, through making seat sizing visible and taking part in an access audit.I WANT TO WATCH WITH MY COMMUNITY GROUP, MY SCHOOL OR MY WORKPLACEIf you would like to organise your own online watch party or a community / educational / cinema screening.
