How much does a film in stream cost?
You can rent any of our films for 3,99 Euro. But please note: There is only a limited contingent of tickets per film online. Make sure you get your favourites in time.
What is a Soli-Ticket?
With your Soli-Ticket, you support the FFC, which has lower income due to the Corona measures and the necessary restrictions. In this way, you help to secure the existence of the FFC in the coming years.
Which films can I watch in the stream?
You can find an overview HERE (well add the link as soon as available).
What does "limited contingent" mean?
As the capacity of seats is limited in the cinema, the number of accesses to each individual film in streaming is also limited. This can affect both the time of availability and the number of accesses. You will find information on this on the respective film page. Therefore, the same applies to our streaming offer: Secure your desired films as soon as possible!
How long can I watch the film online?
Borrowed films can be watched as often as you like within 24 hours after the first start. The film can be started again by entering the previously purchased ticket-ID.
Do I have to buy several tickets if I want to watch the film together with friends?
To support us financially, it would be nice for the FFC, but it is not necessary. You are also welcome to sit in front of the monitor as a couple or with friends and watch the film for a one-time fee of 3.99 Euro. But please: Only in a private setting and please keep your distance.
I do not live in Germany, can I see the FFC programme online?
Unfortunately not, we are only allowed to offer films in Germany.
Are the films translated?
The FFC shows the films in the original version, so the films are NOT dubbed in German. Instead, German or English subtitles are available almost everywhere.
German productions are usually only available in German; series is only available with English subtitles.

How does FFC-streaming partner Pantaflix (platform hosting our streaming) use my data?
As safe, fair and humane as possible. To be on the safe side, take a look at their privacy policy. What is more important: Your personal user data information will NOT be passed on to third parties.
Can I watch any movie in HD?
No, because it depends on the film you want to see: If the content is provided in HD quality, it will also be available in HD for you. If the content is only available in standard resolution (SD-format), you can only watch it in this quality.
Which payment methods can be used to buy a ticket?
PayPal and credit cards are supported.
Can I delete my cookies while the movie is streaming?
Yes, but we don’t recommend this. Even though the movie will continue to play, all the interactions with the portal will end up in an error and you will have to verify yourself again via your ticket-ID.
How does the stream behave, if I have a bad internet connection?
We automatically adjust the quality of the movies to your internet connection and device performance. If you have a slow internet connection, it may happen that the movie does not play in the best possible quality.
Why is not the whole programme available online?
We have tried to make as many film titles as possible available online, but we also have an understanding for film rights holders who do not yet want to put their brand-new film online because they are still in negotiations with potential distributors. Therefore, the reasons are different. Some films already have a German distributor who will not release the films in cinemas until after our festival. For some films, especially classics, no digital formats or exploitation rights were available. And current TV productions are usually only available in the media library after the first TV broadcast.
