AFI FEST represents a unique opportunity to watch films that will take months to arrive at the movie theaters, digital platforms - or maybe those gems will never show again. Some of the selected films won relevant prizes in festivals around the world and will leave a lasting impression during the awards, including the Golden Globes and the Oscars.
In the year 2019, the AFI FEST is returning to charge for tickets to most of its selection. The festival still is offering some relevant screenings and events free of charge at the festival’s box office. Those titles include “The Cave,” “The Kingmaker,” “American Factory,” “The Apollo,” Italy’s Oscar entry “The Traitor.”

This is one of the most expensive ways to watch a movie. The cable providers charge around five dollars per movie. You then have twenty four hours to watch it or you will have to rent it again. This is a waste of money when you can rent online movies for less than ten dollars a month. Just two movies on cable is more than that. putlockers
