Virtual Cinema FAQ

Q: How Does it Work?

Every new release we offer will be available through our partnership with @Home. You'll be taken to our @Home website to purchase and watch the film, but a portion of your ticket will help support City Lights Cinemas.

Account

The first time you use this streaming platform you'll need to set up an account. Creating a new account requires only your name, email address, and a password. To stream movies in the future, you can simply log in.

Payment

Once your account has been created you’ll be taken to a payment screen, where you can enter your credit card information.

Once your payment has been processed you should receive a confirmation email, and the film will become available to you for 48 hours. If the film has yet to appear, try refreshing your browser.

Watch

Confirmation emails do not contain a link to watch the film. To view the films you've rented through this platform go to clcvirtual.athomearts.org, sign in, click 'My Account' and select 'My Screenings', where you'll be able to see a list of all your purchased films.

You should be able to stream the film on your computer, tablet, or mobile device, and, if you have a television that is able to mirror your computer or phone, possibly on your television as well.
