Portie Film Festival 2026: Online Program (Worldwide)

  During the 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗺 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 (𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟵-𝟭𝟭), plus on 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟭𝟮, we offer a variety of 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺𝘀 for free on 𝗬𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗩𝗶𝗯𝗲𝘀, our 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 (operated through Vimeo on Demand) dedicated to independent 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀.

Simply follow the 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 below to redeem your free rental during the July 9-12 window:

1. Press the green rent button
2. Log in to Vimeo (or create an account)
3. Press on ‘Apply promo code’
4. Apply promo code ‘PORTIE2026’ (capital sensitive)
5. Rent the film for free (for 72 hours)

You don’t need to enter any credit card or other payment information, since the promo code reduces the rental price to $0, but you must be signed in (or create a free Vimeo account) to redeem the code and access the rental. Once the rental period of 72 hours expires, you can rent it again for another for the same period, provided it is still within the festival period (July 9-12). And if you rent the film on, for example, Sunday, July 12, you still have the full 72 hours to watch it, even though that extends beyond the festival dates.
