Give your film more screen time.
Could your film reach a bigger audience through a digital release?
What if that same release could open the door to 25+ film festival opportunities?
NEWCINEMA/_ is an international streaming showcase for independent film. Filmmakers can publish their work within the showcase that best fits their film, where it becomes available to audiences through secure, ad-free streaming and can be discovered by film festival programmers around the world.
You remain in control of where your film can be watched and how long it stays available.
Every publication also includes access to our Festival Gateway, allowing your film to be considered by 25+ participating film festivals for their official streaming programmes.
NEWCINEMA/_ SHOWCASES
Each NEWCINEMA/_ showcase brings together films with a shared format, genre or creative identity—from DOCS+ and SHORTS+ to EXPERIMENTAL+, ANIMATED+ and more. These showcases are where audiences discover your work and where festival programmers can explore new films. Click any showcase below to see how it appears and watch the current selection on Whush.
FESTIVAL GATEWAY: 25+ FESTIVAL PARTNERS
Once your film is published within a NEWCINEMA/_ showcase, you can choose which of our participating festival partners you’d like your work to be considered by. Each festival independently selects films for its official streaming programme during its regular programming period, with no additional festival submission fees.
AND THERE’S MORE
Every NEWCINEMA/_ release also comes with a few extras to help you enjoy, share and celebrate your film’s new home.
