Film Festival Flix, Whistleblower Summit and Film Festival Announce New Virtual Streaming Channel (MESA)
Story Highlights
Film Festival Flix will launch a new Virtual Festival streaming channel for the 9th anniversary of the Whistleblower Summit and Film Festival from July 28 – July 31. Normally held in Washington DC each year, Film Festival Flix’s online digital platform will virtually present all 2020 official selections and panel presentations during the scheduled festival.
Festival Pass holders will be able to watch and engage with the Festival, the films, and the panels from the comfort of their own homes through FilmFestivalFlix.com or the Film Festival Flix TV and mobile apps.
“We’re excited to have the Whistleblower Summit and Film Festival join Film Festival Flix, shares Film Festival Flix CEO, Benjamin Oberman. Amplifying their voice and increasing accessibility globally through our platform offers this unique festival the ability to engage exponentially greater audiences and change the world.”
Whistleblower Summit and Film Festival’s film category break down will include screenings of Feature Films, Documentaries, and Short Films that depict civil rights, human rights, and social justice themes all in competition for the best 2020 festival winners. Recently, the festival has been recognized as a “Best Festival” for innovation in Arts, Film & Culture from FestForums (2019), which places them in competition with North America’s leading festivals. Details about screening schedules are available here.
“We’ve always prided ourselves on providing a new experience at the summit every year, like the first TEDx Salon and then Film Festival dedicated to whistleblowers and the first amendment. With this new technological format, we can share panel discussions, virtual events, and showcase great independent films and filmmakers while considering the needs and safety of our audiences. Film Festival Flix is our modern solution,” says Marcel Reid, Whistleblower Summit and Film Festival Co-founder/Festival Director.
