Collaborate to innovate

Twitch is a live video streaming service that mainly focuses on video game live streaming. The project aims at bringing together the streaming world of the Twitch platform and local cinemas around various events. The idea is to capitalize on the young and engaged Twitch audience and build an active cinema community on this global platform.

Firstly, the project will take the form of a Twitch Screen Spirit channel displaying a bi-monthly cinema show, co-produced by partner theatres, and in which local streamers and industry professionals will invite the public to take part in discussions focusing on new releases, box
office results or heritage films and filmmaking.

Additionally, Screen Spirit will include a professional forum and a Festival event that will also be available simultaneously on Twitch.

The festival will be held in every partner venue, in which a local streamer will introduce the films, surrounded by guest and talents. In relation to the film programme, a range of events (workshops, roundtables and conferences on the professions and practices of cinema) will also be streamed.

The Forum day will gather the Twitch cinema scene with professionals from the distribution and exhibition sector, and will focus on how to promote films and local cinemas on the platform.
