    Eventival

    Eventival

    Eventival

    The Eventival platform, the world's most popular and widely used festival software - has been the engine powering the organization of hundreds of film festivals around the world. It helps streamline the daily work with data, simplify complex tasks like attendee registration, hospitality management, film reviewing and scheduling, serves as a CRM and project management tool, and makes running the festival less stressful and attending it more pleasant. Quoting one of our clients, "Eventival is the institutional memory of our organization". People outside the film industry are surprised to hear that running a festival can be a full time job, but festival organisers know otherwise. Gathering, reviewing and selecting films, selling badges, recruiting staff and volunteers, inviting guests, arranging their travel and hotels, preparing special events, creating schedules and gradually pushing the results of months of work to various websites represents a multitude of simultaneous tasks.

    LASSO

    LASSO

    We all know that the best events are those in which everything goes according to plan. But how do you know it will? You don’t, unless you’re either psychic or using LASSO. Cut through the chaos and focus on pulling off the perfect event. The most stressful part of event planning is crew scheduling. You have to find the right people for the job, make sure they’re available, and then hope that everything works out on the day of the event. With LASSO, you can easily plan your entire event roster with just a few clicks. Trying to stay in touch with your crew can be difficult and frustrating. Especially when you’re managing a crew the size of a football team. Quickly send important messages, notifications, and announcements—no matter what time it is or which device they happen to be using. Onboarding new hires can be a serious pain. You’ve got to track down paperwork, get it filled out, and make sure that you’re storing everything in a safe place.

    ThisWayUp

    Most applications for film festivals solve just one problem: a film submission form, a film database, a mailinglist, a task management app… Resulting in festivals using a whole bunch of separate tools and trying wildly to string them all together. Very few all-in-one solutions exist — and those are insanely expensive. Every film festival is unique. Filmchief is designed to be customizable to meet all your requirements. Create user groups, share lists, delegate tasks. Filmchief provides many ways for your team to collaborate. All your data is encrypted and continuously backed up. And you have full control on every user's authorizations. If you need any help, just call or use the super handy feedback system. Our flexible ticketing services make it possible to define and sell any number of festival passes and tickets for single screenings. Visitors can vote for audience awards, join live streams, and connect with organizations at the Industry Marketplace.
