Imbibe Cinema is a program of the Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival (BWiFF) designed to advocate for all cinema exhibiting creative, exceptional storytelling through the composition, collection, and distribution of positive media — occasionally paired with an apt beverage.
Selected documentary and narrative films will be showcased in the monthly film series exclusively for Imbibe Cinema members. Films selected will be available to stream on Imbibe Cinema by members and will be limited to the designated month the film is selected for (i.e., January 1-31). Official selections will receive a featured article review and recognition in the Imbibe Cinema podcast.
