IFFR Unleashed

IFFR Unleashed is an extension of our annual festival, online and year-round. You can subscribe to enjoy a curated selection of extraordinary films, special collections, masterclasses and talks. If you live outside of the Benelux, you can make use of the pay-per-view option. 

Our streaming service provides a curated selection of films that have screened at previous editions of IFFR. They are electrifying and unconventional films by filmmakers who dare to explore new territories and untold stories. We highlight experimental and audience favourites that move us, challenge and inspire.

All films are spoken in their original language. Most films have English subtitles, however some only have Dutch subtitles. Subtitles can be found by clicking the CC button in the bottom-right of the video player. There you can activate your preferred language.

Please be aware: in most cases there are no subtitles if a film is English-spoken.

All films on IFFR Unleashed are in HD (1080p) quality.

Films on our Unleashed platform are available on a pay-per-view basis. Prices are indicated per film.

If that is the case, this information will be included in the Unleashed box on the film page. Unleashed films are currently not available in the USA or Canada.

We add new films to IFFR Unleashed every month.

We have signed long-term contracts for 90% of our films. You can enjoy these films for years to come. Only a small number of films will be available on the platform for a period of one and a half years.

To turn on subtitles, click the CC button at the bottom-right corner of your video player and activate your preferred language.

If there is no CC button but the film specifications do indicate that subtitles are included, you will not have to activate them yourself. The subtitles will be part of the film as viewed in the video player. Please be aware: in most cases there are no subtitles if a film is English-spoken.
