Who We Are

About Us

The Beatles Film Festival (The Festival) is a touring film festival featuring a revolving list of high-quality documentaries that highlight the musical, cultural, social and political influence of the Fab Four in the context of the turbulent 1960’s. In addition to the presentation of the films, The Festival will also include an exhibition of Beatles memorabilia, guest personalities and a showcase of merchandise for sale. It is designed for both 1-day/2-screen and 2-day/3-screen formats. All films are in digital download (DD) or Digital Cinema Package (DCP) format and the festival has exclusive rights to publicly exhibit them. Most importantly, the Festival is programmed by a group of Beatles devotees who are dedicated to curating the best films we can find. If you would like to host us in your city, please contact a local cinema who is as enthusiastic as you are and ask them if they are interested. If so, please let us know the details and we’ll be there!

Screenings

Our wonderful festival was scheduled to roll out across the North America in the Spring and this page was to provide a listing of the dates and times of festival screenings. Then came Covid-19 and everything changed. Due to the foreseeable difficulties and uncertainties in the cinema market, we’ve decided to offer the entire festival line-up online in the form of a Virtual Festival where you can stream all our fab films in the comfort of your own home. And it is so easy to use and watch, and much cheaper too… plus now you’ll have a ten day window to watch all ten films when you purchase an all-access pass for the paltry sum of $35. That’s just $3.50 per film….such a deal. Check here to gain access to our Virtual Festival, which is hosted by a great partner called Eventive. You’ll love the platform they have built to serve (and save!) film festivals like ours.

Remember our motto: “It’s getting so much better all the time!”

Hope you’ll see us soon.
