How do I register?

You can register to become a b-side member by clicking on the Log In or Register link on the top right of any page. Registration is simple and painless, and takes less than a minute:

  1. On the right hand side of the Login page, enter your email address, a desired username, your zip code, and your desired password. Optionally, you may enter your first and last name.
  2. Select the checkbox next to 'I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy,' (of course, after you have reviewed them).
  3. Click register now.
  4. The final step is to validate your email address. You will receive an email from us with the subject 'b-side registration.' The email will contain a link that you can click on to complete registration.

That's it.

A few notes:

  • If you have any trouble clicking on the validation link, you will also find a code in the registration email you received. Simply copy the code and paste it into the validation code section of the validation page, and click validate.
  • If you haven't received the validation email after a couple of minutes, please check your junk/spam folder. If our email was marked as spam, please add help@bside.com to your address book to make sure we can reach you in the future.
Why should I register?

Anyone can use b-side to discover and buy films. However, registered members receive additional benefits:

  • Share your opinions by rating and reviewing films you've seen.
  • Receive personalized recommendations of films we think you'll love.
  • Create your own list of favorite video clips to share with others.
  • Be the first to hear about new releases, free member downloads, and other special events.
I already registered with b-side at IFC or a film festival. Do I need to register again?

No -- anyone who has registered with b-side at IFC or one of our partner film festivals is already signed up for b-side. You can use the same email and password you created when you signed up.

If you forgot your password, go to the login page, and click on the I forgot my password link to reset your password.

What type of communication should I expect after registering?

B-Side occasionally emails registered users with information on new releases on bside.com or updates on B-Side festival sites the user has visited. Additionally, B-Side users can select to receive or disable more specific notifications by logging in and editing their user profiles at http://www.bside.com/your/edit.

How do I opt-out of receiving communications from B-Side?

To opt-out of receiving our communications, you can (i) submit your email address in the following form; (ii) send email to remove@bside.com; or (iii) send postal mail to: 815 Brazos Street Suite 300, Austin, TX 78701.
