TRUE INDEPENDENT FILMS
Nedan presenterar vi ett antal filmer i sin fulla längd, men först skulle vi vilja uppmärksamma vår Streamingplatform Illambra, och möjligheten att streama festivalprogram vi anordnar genom att bli medlem på Patreon.
Illambra VoD - Unikt innehåll & Stöd Filmskapare
För oss är det främst en platform där riktig oberoende film kan hitta ett hem online där de kan presenteras tillsammans på kvalitativt sätt de förtjänar, och där publik kan både upptäcka okända skatter och stödja filmskaparna.
Hela idén med Illambra är att över tid bygga upp en videobutik online för oberoende film där vi presenterar filmskapare snarare än enskilda titlar, och där publiken kan följa en filmare över tid.
Kvicka, uppriktiga, djärva. Tysta, flamboyanta , diskreta, glada, arga, spirituella... - knutna till varken stil, genre eller form är innehållet på sidan och no/low budget, obskyrt och experimentellt.
Alla intäkter från prenumerationer och försälljning delas 50/50 mellan filmare, som användare får du inte bara tillgång till spännande ovanlig film utan du stödjer även oberoende filmskapande!
Bli festivalmedlem på Patreon - Streama program online
Patreon är en sida för donationer med start på 1$ där värden, i detta fall vi, kan olika erbjuda saker till medlemmarna. Det möjliggör för oss att skapa ett community av medlemmar och sätta mål att jobba mot. Det är en jättebra platform för den som vill stödja oss och samtidigt kunna följa och möjliggöra målen vi jobbar mot.
Vi erbjuder alla våra Patrons gratis inträde till våa event samt möjlighet att streama festivalprogrammet under festivalperioden, du behöver alltså inte ens vara i Sverige för att kunna se festivalen, du kan sitta på semester i Brasilien om du vill!
