Never miss a festival favorite

Usually, festival films are available online only 2-3 years after they have been screened at festivals. It can be tough to track them down, but Vurchel makes it easy! Simply press the heart icon next to a film title, and we'll send you an email notification as soon as that film is available for online streaming!

What is Vurchel.com and why does it exist?

Filmmaker, unlock your film's full potential!

During festival screenings, films experience their peak public interest — a time when audience engagement and excitement are at their highest.

Yet, this significant opportunity for attention often remains unexplored, as films typically make their online debut long after their festival appearances.

Vurchel ensures your audience's interest is retained. We alert your fans when the film is ready to stream, maintaining momentum from festivals for wider reach and engagement. With Vurchel, your film's buzz isn't just preserved — it's amplified.

BTW, you can help us! 🙏

Film is not streaming anywhere yet 😞

This is the story of two friends: a little girl and a tame weasel. One day they find themselves in a library, where they find a magical book that takes them to another world. That world is threatened by the terrifying Basilisk. This is a cartoon about kindness, understanding, and the fact that you don’t always need a sword to defeat evil.
