IFFR Unleashed: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

IFFR Unleashed is the online extension of the International Film Festival Rotterdam, available year-round. It offers a curated mix of films, special collections and talks, with a permanent film selection and rotating temporary collections. It is a paid service on a pay-per-view basis: you stream a film through the website and can watch it for 72 hours once you start it, pausing and resuming as needed. Payment is by credit card or iDEAL. Some films are limited to the Benelux, and the service is not available in the USA or Canada.

IFFR Unleashed is offered by the festival itself, which is based in Rotterdam in the Netherlands; no foreign parent company is known. The service is a hosted web service and is not open source. The sources consulted do not state where viewer data is hosted; IFFR's privacy notice is the place to check.
