What is Couch Fest Films?

Celebrating its forth annual year in 2011, Couch Fest Films is a cozy shorts film fest hosted in people's houses all over the world all in one day. During Couch Fest Films, lovers of film can sit shoulder to shoulder watching short films while stuffing their faces with the snacks they thought they had to sneak in.

Couch Fest Films is not an online event nor a broadcast event. We are a film festival that replaces traditional theater venues with cozy residential venues. So, on Saturday, September 24th, 2011, each host house participating in Couch Fest Films around the world will present a unique program of short movies that play on the hour from 11am-7pm. Festivalgoers are welcome to visit as many of the homes as they like.

In Reykjavík, the houses will be conveniently located near each other to encourage walking and biking, and allow the curious to sample several programs during the day.

A short intermission in the middle of each program will allow viewers to discuss the films and socialize. Participants will have the opportunity to interact, share and discover new films and fellow lovers of film.

Of course you want to attend Couch Fest Films! Maybe you love film. Maybe you like the idea of sitting on your rump. Well, that's kind of what we like too. So was born the idea of Couch Fest Films.

    couch fest films commented on Block User

    I am still getting weekly video shares from: Leonardo Dalessandri http://vimeo.com/leonardofilm Just thought I would check on the feature request. As a film festival it would be great to be able to turn block users that insist on sending as videos daily. I don't' want to turn the email notification off losing the updates from people I like to hear from only b/c a few abuse it. thoughts? Thanks!

    couch fest films commented on contact-only videos incorrectly asks for password

    I understand why you only saw one video in there. The one video you saw in this album was the one public video. It is our festival promo. The other videos that are not showing are the videos that are only shared with the contacts I listed above. When these contacts open the album they are able to see the list of videos but when they click individual videos that have been share with them they see a video that says that the video is password protected. There is no text form asking for a password just a screen where the video should be that says password protected. Which is still weird as non of our contact-shared videos have a password. Thoughts?

    couch fest films commented on contact-only videos incorrectly asks for password

    okay, that is even more weird. I just checked, there are 15 videos in there. They were uploaded by this account (propaganda@couchfestfilms.com) and then only shared with the accounts: shadowgovernment@couchfestfilms.com shadowgovernment1@couchfestfilms.com shadowgovernment2@couchfestfilms.com shadowgovernment3@couchfestfilms.com shadowgovernment4@couchfestfilms.com shadowgovernment6@couchfestfilms.com I created and album containing 14 privately (non-password-protected) videos. I then provided the link to this album with the contacts that are the same contacts the videos have been exclusively shared with. My hunch is that albums can't handle contact-shared private videos which would be sad. Each year, we privately share the competition films with our international jury online. We had hoped this private-contact video in an album would be a great solution for both us and our jury. Yes, we could provide our jury with individual links to each privately shared films but it's kind of silly to share 14 links when you offer the album feature. Thoughts?

    couch fest films commented on contact-only videos incorrectly asks for password

    I have created 4 contacts to share private videos with. All videos are not password protected. The privacy settings for the videos is set to share only with contacts I select. This is great but unfortunately when said contacts try and watch the videos that I have created in an album..the video asks for a password which is weird since none of the videos have been set with passwords. Yes, refreshing the individual video pages works sometimes...but it confuses my contacts and is not really a solution. Am I doing something wrong? What do you suggest as a solution. The album with the private videos is here: http://vimeo.com/album/1692144 Thanks! Link: http://vimeo.com/album/1692144
