Roku Exclusive: Sneak preview of the PBS Online Film Festival

Back for its fourth year, the PBS Online Film Festival showcases some of the most powerful and engaging stories from filmmakers across the country. And I’m happy to share that starting today, Roku customers will have an exclusive one-week preview of the PBS Online Film Festival via the PBS channel on their Roku players and Roku TV models.

The PBS Online Film Festival will feature 25 short-form independent films from a broad spectrum of public media stations and partners. This year’s line up features films from the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM), Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB), National Black Programming Consortium, Pacific Islanders in Communications (PIC), POV, StoryCorps and Vision Maker Media, as well as PBS local member stations.

The fun doesn’t stop with watching the films. After you view the films, be sure you vote for your favorite to win the “People’s Choice” award!

You can find the PBS channel under “Movies & TV” in the Roku Channel Store now on Roku players and Roku TV models.

Happy film-festivaling!
