THE COMPETITION
The Lift-Off Sessions is an online showcase, dedicated to bringing new audiences to the indie film market, ending with an annual live screening of the winning films from our home at Pinewood Studios in the UK.
Every film will be screened for 1 week, via Vimeo On Demand, an exceptional online streaming service that is available through Smart TV’s, Desktops, and a whole bunch of mobile devices including tablets and phones. Each film will sit within their respective programmes, with the top five voted films on each page being sent through to our final round.
Screening the latest indie shorts to as wide an audience as possible is our mission with The Lift-Off Sessions. It provides an invaluable opportunity for filmmakers and film enthusiasts to see lots of their contemporaries’ work. It is our sole and focused mission to introduce new global audiences to this impressive medium, and so far it is having an amazing effect.
HOW The Lift-Off Sessions PICKS THE WINNERS
The festival scoring will consist of two rounds, designed to make the scoring and judging fair, detailed and awarding the most engaged and talented project.
Round 1: Global Social Crowd Round
The first round is open to the general public, who rent the entire collection of films for the full duration of the week. We will be collecting “votes” that will come from our marketing efforts and yours. Everyone must vote for both their favourite, and second favourite film (by writing in the comments section on the Vimeo page). This is a great way for the festival to introduce new people to your work and indie film as a whole. Be sure to optimise your social media before the launch!
Your film will be available for viewing on Vimeo On Demand as part of a series of films that make up the festival, and it will be live for the entire week.
Round 2: Internal Judges Round
The top 5 films from each page of the social round will be sent to Lift-Off’s Internal Judges, who will go further in-depth and score the films based on multiple aspects. The film with the highest overall score wins.
The top voted finalist on each programme will receive free Intermediate Membership worth $89.
