Buddhist Film Channel

COMING SOON!

[white capital letters BFC against a triangular blue background with a gold silhouette at the right edge]Buddhist Film Channel (BFC) is our unique new online resource offering feature films, shorts, television programs, and video talks and interviews from all over the world that include Buddhist content or are the work of Buddhist directors/writers. Programs will be available to consumers on a pay-per-view basis as rentals or download-to-own (transactional video on demand—TVOD), and will be presented in English (or with English subtitles) and in a number of other languages via subtitles. BFC is the first independent international digital platform for this extensive and diverse cinema.

BFC is the natural and necessary evolution of the work of BFF, especially in light of the dramatic changes in the technology of distributing and consuming video works. The online tools offering the ability to generate revenue for filmmakers/content owners as well as for BFF programs and services are now convenient and economical, making a self sustaining archival resource possible. Non-exclusive licenses have been confirmed for nearly 100 titles to date; a public invitation to filmmakers to market their films through BFC will be offered during the beta testing phase of the website, and the target number of titles within the first two years is 1000; our database is currently at over 3000 titles, with hundreds of new films becoming available every year.
