About Screentour
Your film is done. You took risks, had sleepless nights for months and your bank account is negative. Now you want it to be seen.
You open a submission platform. You scroll through hundreds of festivals and don't know any of them. No information about the people behind is shown. But submitting is easy, so you pay and click. Again and again, spread and pray.
Weeks go by without any answer. You still have hope, scrolling on Reddit for any signs. After months, the important festivals rejected you. Is that it? Then it screened at a festival – a fake one. The international premiere, wasted. And then it's shown nowhere.
Making films is hard enough.
Submission platforms list every festival and tell you little about them. Screentour shows you who's behind each one — who curates, what they've selected, whether your film fits — so you can decide where your film actually belongs.
Screentour is built with people who love film.
Free for indie filmmakers – for now and ever.
Give it a try. I'd love to hear what you think about it.
Common questions
- How is this different from FilmFreeway?
- FilmFreeway and similar platforms list festivals that use their submission system. Screentour shows you who's behind a festival, who curates, and what they've selected, so you can decide where your film actually belongs.
- Which festivals are covered?
- We focus on festivals with serious curation, not every fee-collecting one. The list grows as we research more.
- When can I start using it?
- Screentour is currently in the making. Enter your email on this page and we'll reach out the day it launches.
- Is Screentour really free?
- Free for one filmmaker and one film, always. No credit card, no trial. More films cost a small flat fee; same price whether you track two films or twenty. Collaboration is a paid add-on. Exact pricing will be shared before launch.
- Who is paying for Screentour?
- Screentour is funded by its founder, with academic support from HFBK Hamburg and Prof. Dr. Skadi Loist (NTNU). The trademark registration was co-funded by the European Union via the EUIPO SME Fund. Paid plans for studios and producers will keep the indie tier free.
- What if I want to leave?
- Cancel anytime, one click. No retention calls, no questions asked, no forms. Your data is yours and will always be exportable (Coming soon). We'd love to hear why you left, but that's optional, never required.
- Who's building Screentour?
- Chris Xu, with the support of HFBK Hamburg and Prof. Dr. Skadi Loist (NTNU). Built with people who love film.
