Here is a review of others.

• Festhome, a European site that charges filmmakers 2€ per submission but that can drop to as low as 1€ if credit vouchers are bought (e.g. 75€ will buy 75 credits which will pay for 75 submissions). It’s free to use for festivals, even those that charge submission fees although, if Festhome processes the payment, there’s a 10% commission charged. Screeners can be watched on their site or downloaded, and H264 files (a video codec standard that we ask filmmakers for when we invite their films to screen at our fest) and EPK (electronic press kit) materials can be downloaded. Film files stay on their server 6 months from the last submission. Attractive features for filmmakers include file size (the maximum upload size is 20GB), free conversion service if the file isn’t in the required MP4 format using a video compression with the recommended H.264 codec, and both a translation service (3€/minute) and subtitling service (4€/minute).
• Reelport, a European site that charges filmmakers 2€ per submission. The advantage to festivals is that they offer the option of White Label VoD, i.e. streaming all uploaded films on the fest’s own website for online screenings or a video library. An advantage to filmmakers is that Reelport keeps a film file on their server for 24 months, by which time most films have completed their festival tour.
• Short Film Central, an Australian site that’s free to use for filmmakers and offers a film submission service to member festivals (cost of membership ranges between $100 to $150 CAD) that don’t charge a submission fee. The biggest disadvantage to festivals is that the films aren’t available for viewing on the website so online screeners must be obtained from each filmmaker. The biggest disadvantage to filmmakers is the enforced delays in submitting. First, a personal profile must be set up on the website followed by an approval process that can take up to 24 hours. Then a film profile must be set up followed by another delay of up to 24 hours for approval before a film can finally be submitted to a member festival. It was frustrating for both filmmakers and ourselves because many filmmakers believed they had submitted when they hadn’t so we had to follow up with them, or they emailed us wanting an explanation for why they were being prevented from submitting because they assumed the whole process could be done at the same time.
• Short Film Depot, a European site that charges filmmakers from 1.5€ to 3€ depending on purchase option, AND charges festivals 650€ for a 1-year subscription.
• Uptofest, a European site that charges filmmakers 2.5€ and is free for fests.
• Click for Festivals, an initiative of Promofest, a well-established distributor in Spain. Cost to filmmakers starts at 3€ and drops to 1.5€ if buying 100 clicks (i.e. a click is equivalent to one festival submission). It’s free for festivals. A possible disadvantage for filmmakers is that the site only keeps a film file on their server for 2 months without being submitted and for one month after the end of the last festival to which it was submitted.
• Film Festival Life, a European site (Germany) that’s free for festivals but not for filmmakers. Cost is 2.99€ per submission for shorts. This will change in the near future as they plan to introduce a pricing structure that includes credits, packages and subscriptions.
• Festival Focus, a European (London, England) database site that started offering a submission service in Dec 2013 via their website to festivals that don’t charge a submission fee.
• MoviBeta, a new European site that costs filmmakers 4.84€ to submit but that drops to 0.5€ each when submitting to 20 festivals at one time. The FAQs seemed confusing which is not a good sign.
