Connecting Europe
Together with our partners and filmmakers from all over Europe, we are uploading films to this platform, and will expand and promote it further. Our aim is to make it possible for as many films from as many countries as possible to be offered to a wide international audience. We have kicked off focusing on documentaries, but already filmmakers have started uploading films of other genres.
Interview with ONLINEFILM CEO C. Cay Wesnigk at
FIFO Filmfestival 2011
Through cooperation’s with our European partners regionalized, personalized and specialized sub portals have already been created, which develop their individual footprint and address their specific clientele.
First partners were found in Italy– ZELIG Gen. GmbH, Slovenia – Assoc. of SLOVENIAN Filmmakers, Lithuania –. TREMORA, Latvia – EHO-FILMA, Greece– ANEMON PROD. , Austria –DOKUZONE. AT and Ireland – SOILSIU.
Filmmakers and their organisations from other countries are welcome to become Onlinefilm.org partners as well and help build up partner organisations in their territory, promoting the project and the films, helping them to cross borders.
Our proposal - Offering films on the internet for instant purchase.
If you hold the rights to a film, it is fairly easy to upload your films on our server and to offer them for downloading at a certain price, set by yourself. Any film uploaded in the system can be offered from hundreds of different websites and blogs by simple to use embedding links. The actual purchase of a film will always be conducted through the onlinefilm.org system and the process will be controlled by the right holder of the film until it has been sold. Visit our website where you can find plenty of information about the possibilities our technology offers you to offer your films. And if you need advise how to upload or download a film, we are real people that you can phone and ask. That’s what a network of partners is for.
Every filmmaker is welcome to upload and sell his films using the www.onlinefilm.org technology! The income generated by each film (minus sales tax/VAT) is split between the right holder(s) (51%) and ONLINEFILM AG and its partners (49 %). As soon as 100,- Euro are due as payment to a right holder the money is transferred at the next first of the month to his account. If you do use the system to offer a film for sale, no money is asked from you for our service except the revenue share of the income generated by selling it.
If you like the idea and do not only want to use the portal to sell or buy films, we ask you to help us to promote the idea - to the media, other filmmakers, potential shareholders and last but not least - the audience.
You might also consider to become a share holder yourself?
Join us, together we can lead the project to success!
FILMS ARE MADE TO BE SEEN!
