Non, Je n'ai faim pas j'ai soi

how can we watch the film?

Not sure if this belongs here as another one of the meanings of être + passé or if it's just idiomatic, but I came across this variant in the J'adore nager listening excercise https://kwiziq.learnfrenchwithalexa.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/629, and neither this lesson nor the other one Passer/se passer/se passer de - the different meanings of the verb "passer" in French, helped decode it. According to what my search turned up, it means "it's over", or "it's gone"? It does make sense with the context.

In your lesson you say that demeurer, when used in the perfect tense with avoir or être, behaves in the opposite way to other two meaning verbs. Is that right?  Does it not behave in the same way, ie. it takes être when intransitive and avoir when transitive?

Sorry, perhaps this is not right. For example, il a demeuré à Paris is an example of intransitive avoir use. 

So, is the rule that we use être when the usage is intransitive and expresses a state of being?
