Viewing on Demand / Vidéo sur demande

Did you overdo it at an OIAF party and miss a screening?

Vous vous êtes un peu trop amusée à un party de l’OIAF et vous avez manqué une projection? Avez-vous été distrait par une vidéo sur YouTube d’un enfant qui a glissé sur une pelure de banane et a foncé dans un scooter électrique qui a volé dans une hutte de castors inoccupée?

Pas de panique, on s’en occupe. Tout au long de l’OIAF, vous pouvez avoir accès à notre service de vidéo sur demande pour rattraper une projection ou revoir des films que vous avez adoré ou au cours desquels vous avez dormi.
