A New Era in the History of Film Festival Submission Gateway

 

As movie fans, many have heard stories from directors recalling the days when they had to submit films on VHS cassettes to the little number of festivals that were accessible at the time, sometimes all the way across the world. But the procedure was complicated. It was not easy to mail cassettes; one had to find film festivals that accepted entries, get the necessary paperwork, fill it out, and then wait for approval. If accepted, the director was required to submit the festival's preferred print of the movie for showing. The entire procedure required a considerable time and financial commitment, and it was just as laborious as it sounds.

Subsequently, the internet emerged, introducing virtual festival entry points that streamlined the submission procedure. At last, filmmakers could easily apply to film festivals by filling out online applications. But this ease of use was short-lived. Filmmakers and festival organizers were both unhappy with dominant platforms' monopoly on the film industry. High submission costs were levied by the dominant platforms, and their websites became more challenging to use due to technical issues. The consumers' problems received little attention in spite of demonstrations and complaints.

Thankfully, exclusive agreements and monopolistic behavior ultimately came to an end, allowing WFCN, a new rival, to join the market. By providing a complete, industry-supporting area that incorporates all facets of the film business, this platform transforms the process of submitting films. In contrast to its predecessors, WFCN is dedicated to openness and diversity, providing festivals with a free registration process and access to a two-way search engine to facilitate easy communication between submitters and festivals.

Filmmakers may now look for festivals using WFCN, and they do no longer pay huge fees to access submission databases. Rapid interaction is given priority on the platform, enabling users to connect and network instantly. Film professionals and aficionados may be reached by festivals through a large database, which they can use to invite them to serve on their juries. Film industry professionals may utilize WFCN to enhance their professional portfolios and present their work to employers in the hopes of landing a job.

While WFCN is completely free for festivals without submission fees, there is a small cost for those that do. By inviting filmmakers, the platform enables festival curators to expand their operations abroad and receive applications from all around the world. The main objective of WFCN is to bring the whole film industry on one platform, improving productivity and cooperation for both festival organizers and industry professionals.
