The platform
Any platform can send files. Filmfetch checks, monitors and thinks along, with knowledge of DCP and print traffic built in, and our team always within reach.
“We use Filmfetch to bring all the films for IFFR to the Netherlands. This allows us to organise the transport of DCPs and digital files safely and sustainably, with everything visible in one system. Finally, we are free from piles of physical media and scattered Excel sheets! Most of the work is automated, also due to the integration with our festival management system, but it’s also great that we can always keep a direct line with the Medialoc team.”
What we’re proud of
Five things you don’t get from an ordinary transfer service, because the knowledge of the trade is built in.
01
Is a film coming in through a different link or a different platform? Add it to Filmfetch and we make sure it comes in like every other film: checked, monitored and ready for the screen. No more separate streams, no exceptions you have to keep track of separately.
02
Any platform can transfer. With us you get our knowledge of DCP, video and print traffic thrown in. We don’t just transport, we check straight away too. Every DCP is checked and gets a test ingest. So you know for sure: what has been uploaded actually works.
03
Is an upload refused, or does something go wrong? Then we look into what’s going on, often before you’ve noticed it yourself. No silent errors that only come to light on the day of the screening.
04
We like being personally involved. For this and every other question our team is directly reachable through the Support Centre, in the same platform you already work in. No chatbot, just people who know the trade.
05
Create and share secure previews with programmers, juries or buyers. Or build a complete screening platform from Filmfetch, integrated into your own website. You decide who watches, when and for how long.
EU
Developed in-house from start to finish. Our servers, our team, our technology: all in Europe.
Handy tools
Small tools that make a big difference in daily practice.
Drop a JPG into our uploader, choose the right format, and get back a 10-second DCP, including fade-in and fade-out. Perfect for walk-in slides and sponsor slides, without expensive conversion software.
Check in one go whether the KDMs you received work, before the doors open.
To an FTP. To a NAS via our app. Or simply to your own computer. All possible.
Need to translate or subtitle a DCP? Generate a preview file straight away from any unencrypted DCP that comes in, so you can get going without waiting.
Filmfetch accounts can share films directly with each other: fast, secure and right inside the platform.
From submission to screening
One film, from the first upload to the moment the lights go down in the cinema.
01 / 05 · Submission
Drag, choose or paste a link, no account needed. Large files go in parts straight to our storage in Europe. If your connection drops, the upload carries on where it left off.

Not an error code, but someone who knows the trade and tells you exactly what’s wrong. Usually we spot it before you notice.

To the cinema’s DCP server, an FTP, a NAS or a secure preview for the jury. One film can go to several places at once, and we keep watch until it has arrived.
