Websites for Film Festivals

Film Festival Website Design

Film festivals have many moving parts that need to be presented engagingly and compellingly. A website that is easy to navigate with premium content is the best way to maximize ticket sales conversions and attendance. Your film festival website should also demonstrate that you are part of a unique community. You should convey respect for filmmakers and visitors and invite them to participate and experience your event as valued members. Because film festivals are in constant motion, your website needs to be flexible and competitive. 

We offer responsive, mobile-friendly, fast websites with highly functional designs that are easy to use. You’ll have complete control and can make changes and updates quickly using a simple and powerful interface. Each site has an advanced Content Management System like WordPress that you can customize without ever touching code. Simple drag and drop features let you guide users through submitting films, purchasing tickets, attending events and more. Filmmakers and visitors can get all their questions answered and see what your festival experience will entail.

Solutions for Film Festivals

Our website solutions are fast and affordable, and our upfront pricing means you know exactly what your costs are in advance. You can select from a starter, advanced, or custom film festival website with all the elements you need to succeed.

Relevant Information: Other links may include information about travel and hotel accommodations, news, the surrounding local community, former participants who have found distribution for their films, etc. Try and give them the information that you would ask yourself.

Programs and Screening Schedules: Third-party programs can manage the schedule for your festival and allow filmmakers and visitors to see the schedule of events and screenings easily. Custom SEO landing pages for each film may include trailers, posters, screening times, and links for tickets. These pages are critical for linking social media and marketing efforts to your festival so you can help your event succeed. 

Get to Know the Judges: Let the filmmakers know the judges evaluating their work. Are they critics, educators, celebrated filmmakers, or writers? Accomplished judges bring credibility and value to your event and should be included in all marketing materials.

Awards and Process: Submission sites like FilmFreeway may list this information, but you want visitors to stay on your site. By listing the Awards Categories and explaining the judging process, you can inform filmmakers firsthand and create substantial credibility for your festival.

Event Photos: Photos are the most exciting way to share your event and highlight the awe of the experience. Iconic locations, a historic venue, and stunning locations can be displayed to the best advantage without slowing down your website! Images of social events, a packed theater, the awards, and the after-party are perfect marketing opportunities.  

Merchandise: If you want to sell SWAG (stuff we all get) for your film festival, we can set up your site to accommodate this. It makes it easy to promote your festival with memorabilia like t-shirts, mugs, bags, and more! Participants and viewers can boast they were there or had their work shown at a film festival.

Social Media: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram can show how your audience is interacting and get them engaged. We help you be proactive and stay current by posting what’s happening and highlighting significant milestones. Social media is a powerful marketing tool giving people a reason to return to your site, enter more submissions, and attend future events.
