New cinema releases, film festivals, online subscriptions, video on demand, DVD, BluRay, cinema re-releases, extended cuts, live cinema events... As a consumer, the list of options for how to view film is seemingly endless. The choices of type of film are also greater than ever. It’s much easier to (legally) find and watch movies from all corners of the globe than it ever used to be.  With the expansion of broadband in the 2000s and early 2010s, there was hope that the internet was leading to the ‘democratisation of movie distribution’. The thinking was that it would now be possible for anyone - regardless of budget or background - to make and distribute their own films via the internet. Many saw this as a freeing opportunity: a chance to present their films to audiences beyond the confines of highly competitive film festivals and traditional distribution routes.

A young Czech company, Artinii, has come up with a new technology that enables global film distribution. In this series we’ll explain how we do it. Today we’ll share more about who we are and our key concepts - community screenings and leftover films.

The movie industry has a problem.

Over 100 years after its inception, the global film industry still does not understand its audience.

Global video streaming penetration as well as the number of streaming services/households are expected to increase significantly in the next five years. Playpilot is a streaming aggregator that gathers all titles available in one market and guides you to the best movies and series from all streaming services at one place.

AVA (Audio Visual Access) is a streaming service provider that has been developed specifically for libraries and associations of libraries, offering a unique selection of European and international arthouse films. Library users stream films online for free from any major device - they simply log in with a library card, it’s as easy as that!

Festival Scope Pro is a B2B platform for film professionals, which strengthens the ties among film productions, sales agents, distributors and national institutes all around the world, with a focus on European productions. Its main goals are to promote independent cinema and to trigger the revenues for the rights holders of the films. What differentiates Festival Scope Pro from any other competitor is the unique selection of films available in a highly secured platform with the best service throughout all the process (from the encoding of the file to the promotion of the film). Its very international team, run by Alessandro Raja and Mathilde Henrot, is made of active professionals who have a deep and active knowledge of both the films and the market.
