This Play Festival Films app contains free films and paid films. To make it easy for viewers to keep watching all content for free, the app also includes a fun gaming element with points. Users automatically earn 20 points just for downloading the app, which is the amount needed to watch one paid film for free. If a user watches 10 free films, they earn 20 points (2 points for each short watched), which earns the user a viewing experience to watch one paid film for free.
Please note that both options (stream and/or download) require high speed Internet connection, i.e. Wi-Fi. We do not support any streaming or download of videos over 3G network.

Work needed on the app before I can review content
The app responded quickly and the films started playing with no delay but there was no sound on any of the films. Seems like a bit more work needs doing in the app and I’ll gladly try it again once the bugs have been worked out as the concept is sound.
