Cinebur

Welcome to the home of the cinema revolution. What is Cinebur? Cinebur is a platform that connects moviegoers to unique screenings through our app. We have a host network, like Airbnb for movies, where verified venues host pop-up cinema screenings for moviegoers. Cinebur's film festival is an extension of our platform, to offer indie filmmakers the chance to screen their work to live, global audiences alongside our main collection of award-winning independent films that have gone to compete in Cannes, Berlin, TIFF and Sundance. How it works: On Cinebur, we license indie films from big distributors like New Europe Film Sales or Film Republic the same way MUBI and Netflix do for their platforms. Except instead of online VOD, we distribute films via physical events screened by Cinebur Hosts. Meanwhile, we also give more up-and-coming filmmakers the chance to submit their films, where selected films get screened in our network, either before an official screening, or as part of our Cinebur Film Festival screening every June at the luxurious Anama Cellar in Cyprus. Some Cinebur Hosts love our selections so much that they want to host their own pop-up film festival; that's why our network effect has such a big impact on the exposure our selections receive. Hosts include boutique hotels, wineries, art studios, universities, villas and even charities, all of which host screening experiences to our hundreds of users. We only screen movies to live audiences: Cinebur might just be the first real global film festival. No, we don't mean streaming your film to people's smartphones - we're not an online festival; and no, we don't just mean we've attached our brand to multiple film festivals where you have to submit multiple times. When you submit your film to Cinebur, your film is considered to be screened in our host network around the world. We think there is a fundamental difference between watching films vs. going there. The moviegoing experience is an integral part of cinema. That's why if your film is selected, it is guaranteed at least one physical screening to a live audience that wants to see your film. Why you should submit: We have revived the short film format by playing short films at the start of the screening, like Carolina Markowiczs's Cannes-winning "The Orphan" or Konstantinos Samaras's Drama-winning "Three Eggholders, Almost Four" which are both on Cinebur. And as for your longer-form work, which is screened alongside the likes of Pedro Almodovar's "El Angel" or Wim Wenders' "Paris, Texas" (both of which are on Cinebur), we may offer complete distribution, so our audiences can pay to go watch your film's screenings, which you get a cut from. That's right: if you end up distributing your film on Cinebur, not only do we pay you royalties from earnings you get on the box office, but you retain full ownership of your work. Now that's what we call empowering filmmakers. That's why Cinebur is more than a film festival. On Cinebur, you have the chance to distribute your film directly to live audiences, so they can experience your film the way it was made to be seen: on the big screen with a live audience. This is the future of cinema, and you can be part of it. On Cinebur, we aim to preserve the sanctity of cinema and the moviegoing experience. That's the cinema revolution, and Cinebur is where that revolution starts. We see your vision up there on the screen. We hope you see ours too.
