SOME ANTICIPATED Q&As

If my film is online for 4 days, will this effect my festival screening chances elsewhere?

Only if the film festival you're worried about has their respective dates running at the same time. The selection from us of your film and this online screening is much the same as being part of our live screening festival, except it will be online, but for 4 days. After the festival officially finishes, your film will be removed from our system completely, Unless you choose to continue with us with income that is shared between us.

What control does IOSAFF have over my submission and screening rights during the festival?

None. You can do whatever you want with your film during the festival, before or after - we don't care about that sort of thing, it's your film! If you wish to remove yourself from the competition at any point that is fine also - just make sure you let us know.

Will it cost money to watch the films, how much and why are you charging?

Yes, it will cost $10 to rent the collection for the week. This is the most minimum fee we can afford - our aim is to break even. Vimeo On Demand isn't cheap, neither is the marketing costs and the overriding function of our combined platform. We also believe, firmly, that indie film shouldn't be given away for free. Our ultimate aim is to build audiences bringing people to independent VOD projects who are happy to pay to watch them.

We will be sending you a link to the online festival prior to going live and we'd like it very much if you shared this link with all of your friends, family and supporters, to gain as big an audience as possible for these brilliant films.
