Book your screening on Kinema

Choose your format

In person

You secure a space: a church, library, community center, school or living room. Kinema provides a secure download of the film and runs your ticketing and event page. You handle the projector and the room.

Best for community events, chapter meetings and house parties.

Virtual live

Your audience watches together in a synchronized online stream at a set date and time. They can chat during the film, and you can broadcast a live Q&A afterward, including with director Natalya Murakhver.

Best for national organizations and members spread across the country.

Virtual on demand

You set a window of 1 to 30 days and your audience watches on their own schedule. Once they press play, they have 48 hours to finish. No one has to coordinate schedules.

Best for email lists, Substacks, podcasters and social followings.

A discussion guide with questions across five themes
A moderator’s guide for the conversation after the film

Questions

What is the film about?

Framed as a forensic analysis of what happened to children during school closures, it blends Murakhver’s perspective as a Soviet immigrant with voices of children and families nationwide, exposing devastating learning loss, mental health crises, and inequality. More about the film

Who made 15 DAYS?

15 DAYS was directed by Natalya Murakhver and produced by Restore Childhood, a nonprofit organization founded in the wake of the Covid pandemic.

Is it appropriate for younger audiences?

We recommend 15 DAYS for ages 14 and up. It deals with complex and intense political topics and details harm and trauma inflicted on children that may be challenging for younger viewers.

What do I need to host a screening?

Motivation, a venue and an audience ready to engage. Venues can be a community space, church, synagogue or private home. Kinema also supports virtual screenings, so you may not need a venue at all.

Can I host an online screening?

Yes. We encourage in-person events, and Kinema also supports live and on-demand online screenings for your community or organization.

Is there a cost to hosting?

You can sell tickets and keep 45% of every ticket, or pay a license fee and ticket on your own platform or host for free. Kinema’s guided checkout has the details.

Can I charge admission?

Yes. Charging admission is up to the host.

How far ahead should I plan?

Aim for at least two to three weeks to cover promotion and logistics. More lead time is better.

Will I get promotional materials?

Yes. Kinema gives you an event page with ticketing and RSVPs, promotional copy and social templates, and secure delivery of the film. Restore Childhood provides the screening kit with the moderator’s guide and discussion questions. Attendees who opt in share their contact details with you, and your 45% is paid weekly.

Can I host a Q&A after the screening?

Yes, and we encourage it. You can request the director or someone from the film to speak, subject to availability. An honorarium applies.
