Scheduled screenings of independent films, AI-made features, and documentaries, inside your VR headset, with a real audience, at a set time.
What makes this different
The best seat in the house. Every time.
In a physical cinema your seat determines your experience. In CONTRABAND, when the film starts the room fades away and the screen fills your entire field of view. No bad angles. Nobody tall sitting in front of you. Every seat is the same seat.
You are not watching alone.
The room holds real people. You cannot see their faces. There are no avatars. But you can hear them. Someone laughs two rows back. The room goes quiet at exactly the right moment. That sound, the sound of a crowd absorbed in the same thing, is what makes cinema feel different from watching something at home. CONTRABAND brings it back.
It happens at a set time, for everyone.
The film starts at 8pm. So does everyone else. Nobody pauses it. Nobody skips ahead. The experience is shared in time as well as space, which is what turns watching into an event. That communal moment is what streaming took away and what CONTRABAND gives back.
Films that deserve to be seen.
Every film on CONTRABAND was selected by our community. Independent features, AI-made films, documentaries that got passed over by traditional distribution. Films with no other home, until now.

Built for people who miss going to the cinema
The cinema outing used to be a Friday night plan. Getting ready, driving somewhere, sitting in the dark with strangers, watching something that moved you.
That ritual has been eroding. Costs too much. Too far to drive. The screens are taken by films that do not need them, and the films you actually want to see never made it to your city.
CONTRABAND is our answer to that. Not a replacement for cinema. A new kind of it.
Early access
