INTERNATIONAL OPEN CALL for the PAY per VIEW Section
VisualcontainerTV invites artists worldwide to submit works for its Pay-per-view section: a curated online programme of experimental film, experimental documentary, videoart, animation, screendance and performance, in which every ticket pays rights to the authors.
Key terms — please read before applying
- Online exclusivity: for the duration of the agreement, the full-length work is available online only in the VisualcontainerTV Pay-per-view section, for the price of a ticket. It cannot be published in full anywhere else online, free or paid.
- What you keep: festivals (including private screener links and online festival editions of up to 30 days), exhibitions, screenings, broadcast, sales to collectors and institutions, a trailer of up to 30 seconds.
- Duration: 3 years from publication, renewed automatically year by year. After 3 years, you can withdraw the work at any time with 3 months’ notice.
- Your share: 50% to 75% of every ticket, according to running time. Works never published online can be presented as an online world PREMIERE, with a higher ticket price and a higher artist’s share for their first year.
- Payment: when your share reaches EUR 50, or at the end of each calendar year.
- Copyright: your work remains yours; VisualcontainerTV receives a licence for online distribution only.
The full agreement is sent to selected artists.
Conditions
- Original works only. Soundtracks registered with collecting societies (SIAE, SACEM, ASCAP and similar) are not accepted.
- Up to 5 works per artist. Submitting several works is encouraged.
