HOST A SCREENING

BRING THE WISDOM OF TRAUMA TO YOUR COMMUNITY!​

Experience the transformative power of The Wisdom of Trauma by watching it as a group, either virtually (online), in-person, or hybrid (in-person and online). Your shared presence magnifies the impact of the film’s message.

If you have further questions, please email us.

Who is eligible to host a screening?

Any group that is interested in understanding the nature of trauma, including nonprofit organizations, community groups, schools, government agencies, and businesses.

HOW WILL I SHOW THE FILM?

For in-person community screenings, once the booking is complete, you will be able to download the film 72 hours before the event’s starting time and screen it without the need for an internet connection.
If you are hosting your screening at a cinema or theatre and require the film in DCP format, please email us with your request.

For virtual screenings, you have two options:

  • Live Virtual Screening – Your audience will watch the film together in a synchronized stream, with the option to live text chat and hear from you directly in a live video broadcast. Each guest will need to register for a ticket via the screening event page that will be created upon booking.
  • Event VOD Screening – This option allows you to provide a VOD rental to your audience within a set time frame. Your audience can watch the film in a virtual cinema, with a 48-hour window to finish once they start. You can set the Event VOD for a period between 1-30 days, and choose between an upfront licensing fee or a sell tickets and split the revenue split.

HOW CAN I HOST A HYBRID SCREENING?

To host a hybrid screening, you will need to book two separate screenings—one for the in-person event and one for the virtual event. Even if they happen simultaneously with the same host, each audience will be accessing the film differently, so two event pages are necessary.

If you're paying the upfront licensing fee, you will only pay it once, which covers both events and your total audience size. Be sure to contact Kinema on [email protected] before booking the second event so they can waive the fee for that screening

How much does it cost to host a screening?

The cost to host a screening depends on the format you choose and the size of your audience, starting as low as $1 per person attending.

  • For virtual screenings or in-person community screenings (using a computer and projector/screen setup), you have two choices:
    • You can sell tickets through Kinema. The ticket revenue will be split 45/45/10 meaning you will keep 45% of the ticket price, we keep 45% and the platform keeps 10%. There is no upfront cost. This is a popular choice for fundraising events.
    • Or you can handle ticket sales independently (or offer the event for free). You will need to pay an upfront licensing fee which starts at USD 75 for up to 25 guests for non-profit and faith-based organizations.
  • For cinema screenings with DCP files: We will provide a virtual DCP file for download. The upfront licensing fee starts at USD 200, depending on the number of attendees.

BOOK YOUR SCREENING

We have partnered with Kinema, a global platform dedicated to supporting independent films and community screenings. Kinema provides ticketing, an event page, and an offline cinema player for easy hosting. If you are hosting your screening at a cinema or theater and require the film in DCP format, please email us with your request.

 

How to Book Your Screening:

  • Click the button below to go to Kinema’s booking page.
  • Select “Create Screening Event” and follow the steps to set up your event.
  • Choose how you want to host your screening:
    • Sell tickets through Kinema: No upfront fee. Revenue is split 45% to you, 45% to the filmmakers, and 10% to Kinema. Many hosts use this method for fundraising as there’s no upfront cost involved.
    • Offer the screening for free or sell tickets independently: A one-time licensing fee applies. If you are using a different platform to sell tickets, make sure your event is set to private rather than public, to prevent people from registering for free through Kinema.
  • Wait for Kinema’s approval: It can take up to 2 business days, so plan ahead.
  • Once approved, your event page will be created: Guests will register for tickets via that page.
  • Access screening resources: In Kinema, you will find posters, stills from the film, the discussion guide in PDF format, and other promotional materials.
  • Receive the film: The film will be available to download from Kinema 72 hours before your event for testing.
