WELCOME LETTER Hello and welcome to the fourth Viewster Online Film Festival (#VOFF4). We’re particularly excited about this edition as our theme “Share it Forward,” brings to light some of the world’s most important and pressing issues. We’re incredibly proud to be able to showcase these films on a global scale. From human rights to environmental conservation through to the impact of war, social prejudice and the bid to make a difference, #VOFF4 covers an impressively wide range of subject matter. With 230 films from 47 different countries spanning every continent on the globe, we’re looking forward to sharing with you an insightful—and engagingly varied—festival program. As #VOFF4’s theme is “Share it Forward,” we’ve introduced a very special award for this edition: The Audience Award. #VOFF4 has connected with some amazing charities and the winner of the Audience Award will get to decide which organization will receive a $20,000 donation in his /her name. Our jury will also pick our overall festival winner and runner-ups from the shortlist chosen by you, the public, that will see the first place filmmaker receive $50,000. By connecting filmmakers directly to their audience, #VOFF levels the playing field and gives a voice to filmmakers who would otherwise go unheard. This is especially relevant given the nature of the films being screened as part of #VOFF4. Topics that deserve our attention but haven’t been given a platform to do so, now have the chance to capture the world’s attention. So, join us in championing cutting-edge, independent filmmaking and go share it forward!
Kai Henniges CEO & Co-Founder

Every action counts as a vote. The more you do, the stronger your vote.
WIN A LLAMA! As a part of #VOFF4’s “Share it Forward” ethos, we’re helping to change the lives of others by rewarding our voters for sharing their favorite film. The more a voter enters their comments/shares/tweets about a film, the greater the chance they have of winning one of our #VOFF4 raffle prizes to change the lives of those in need. Llamas, ducks, an acre of rainforest, and enough stoves to keep a whole village cooking for many years to come, are amongst our top prizes. http://blog.viewster.com/voff4-win-good-karma

ABOUT Taking place four times a year, and with each edition having its own theme and $100,000 prize purse, the Viewster Online Film Festival is a unique, international online event that attracts, showcases and rewards series, short films, features, web series and documentaries that are not as famous as they should be. Moderated by an online community, the audience participates by engaging with their favorite entries through voting, sharing and discussing to select the finalists. The audience nominated finalists are then viewed by the Jury who decide on the winning filmmakers. #VOFF4 begins on November 13 and runs through to November 27, worldwide. This edition, “Share it Forward,� is all about screening films which tackle some of the world’s most challenging issues, from environmental disaster to human rights, social prejudice and making a difference. To get your favorite entry in front of the jurors, it needs to get into the shortlist by the end of the voting period (Nov. 27, 3pm CET). The more you tell your community to watch, share, discuss and vote for this entry, the better its chances to make it to the final round. All the entries are completely free to watch on viewster.com until December 15.

Viewster is the only online video service with its own film festival that brings together creators with a global audience. We offer a catalog of free series and movies that are hard to find anywhere else, for free, all available at the single click of a button across a variety of devices—no registration required. On Viewster, you’ll find a sweeping selection of niche movies, cult series, acclaimed festival darlings, all the classics, hidden gems from all around the world and much, much more. However, if you’re looking for the blockbusters currently in your local cinema, you’ve come to the wrong place (you pirate …). We’re a legal site and make sure the content owners get rightfully paid. To use Viewster, all you need is an internet connection. That’s it. We always recommend a bunch of fresh titles for you on the front page, but we highly advise you to browse in the back of the crates where we’ve got thousands of titles available—be it Japanese anime, British comedy, Scandinavian crime, American horror, Korean drama, indie films, documentaries and more. If you’re into watching on the go, we have free apps available for Android and iOS devices. If TV is more your thing, Viewster also comes pre-installed on all major brand smart TVs. In order to keep everything free, and for us to keep paying the creative spirits who produce the entertainment on Viewster, we do have to show you and ad every once in a while. We know, ads are far from awesome—but please bare with us. By watching them, you contribute directly to the filmmakers and make sure we can continue showing their work on Viewster for free.

Timo Vuorensola
“Festivals are an ages-old medium which hasn’t really renewed since the time of the Internet. Actually, film festivals seem to be the very antithesis of an Internet era. The limitations to the specific time, date, format and availability are all redundant in today’s world. For this reason, I find Viewster’s festival a progressive, future-oriented, tech-savvy way to promote films in the terms of today, to the audiences of today.” Timo Vuorensola, Film Producer

Nora Tschirner
“Successful European films often remain successes within their home markets. This is a pity because we Europeans can tell great stories. With the #VOFF, Viewster offers a new and open window for films of any country to an international audience. The attractive prize money goes directly to the creatives without any complex structures or application processes. That’s why I like the #VOFF”. Nora Tschirner, Actress
Ted Hope
“The most critical questions for filmmakers now are how to get your film seen, how to build momentum behind it, and can you ever earn any real money from your work. It used to be, that if you were not in the studio system, you’d play traditional film festivals and hope for the best— you’d be limited to who lived or came to the town where you screened. Now we can move that model online, and with it exponentially improve all odds. The internet allows all creators
to become their own distribution managers, but we all need proper platforms if we want to earn eyeballs, money, and appreciation. Viewster, with #VOFF, answers all three questions while providing exposure, excitement, and potential a whole bucket load of cash.” Ted Hope, Film Producer
