Make your donation of $25 or more, and you'll receive access to the Flaherty Holiday Film Bundle on our online streaming platform via Eventive, at watch.eventive.org/flaherty. There, a new program of films will be released weekly for four weeks throughout December and will remain available through December 31st, 2025.

We’re sticking to our tradition of non-preconception; the films will be a surprise. All we’ll say for now is that the films have been donated by a few close friends of the Flaherty and represent a range of the ecosystem fostered by the Seminar throughout the last few years.

Each film gift - ranging from feature-length films to short film blocks - will be released in the following dates: 

Gift 1: Monday, Dec 1 

Gift 2: Monday, December 8

Gift 3: Monday, December 15

Gift 4: Monday, December 22 

Stream them week by week, or binge them all on New Year’s Eve.

The programs will be available from the moment they’re released through December 31st.

For over 70 years, The Flaherty has been a home for artists, curators, writers, scholars, and film lovers from around the world. We've supported daring and exciting work, nurtured emerging voices, and created space for tough conversations about cinema that happen nowhere else. That legacy—and this community—is worth keeping alive.

Your donation helps keep us going. As a bonus, you’ll get access to some wonderful films!

100% of donations go directly to sustaining The Flaherty's operations and ensuring we can continue supporting artists, curators, and film culture into the future through our Seminars and Fellowship programs.

Please do! Every dollar helps. You'll still get the same Holiday Film Bundle access, but you'll be making an even bigger impact on our survival.

Absolutely. You can make a tax-deductible donation of any amount at https://theflaherty.org/donate if you don’t want to receive the Holiday Film Bundle.
