Festival TV unveils its great innovation menus

The Pros' Village: five services, one village

At the heart of it all, the Pros' Village brings together five services that answer one another. Festival TV Market is the festivals' online professional market: conferences, workshops and targeted meetings, all year round. Booking connects festivals and artists. Jobs & Missions is the professionals' directory — technicians, photographers, videographers, agencies, media: the Guinea directory is open, with its first verified profiles, and every professional can claim and correct their own. Sponsors & Funding helps festivals meet brands and partners. And Festival TV Pro is preparing the footage catalogue for media and broadcasters.

Accounts, tiers — and a fully free launch month

Festival TV accounts arrive by magic link, without password. Four steps structure access: Free to discover, Standard and Pro to work, and Premium, the most complete accompaniment — all formulas are free during the first year. The month of launch will be completely free, so that everyone tries at their own pace. And we say clearly: no payment is activated online today; each module honestly says what is open and what is getting ready.

'We fill in your application for you'

It is the service that changes the lives of artists who do not like the forms. At the end of each call for applications on the site, a block offers the help of Festival TV secretaries: they fill out the form and send it, ensure regular follow-up with the artist and, if necessary, a full accompaniment — we organize everything with him. The service is open to all artists: a tailor-made accompaniment, processed on a case-by-case basis. The request starts in a message, on the site or in conversation with Moses, the host of Festival TV.

'Your images are worth Festivos'

Are you in a festival, a concert, a village party, a traditional or religious party, a private party, on a boat or on a plane? We are interested in your images because we want to see how communities around the world celebrate life and show their joy. The principle: first offer your captures; if your images are retained and disseminated, you are rewarded with Festivos — never in silver: the Festivos give access to the services of Festival TV. The grid is displayed: photo selected 25 Festivos , photo series 60 Festivos , video of atmosphere 50 Festivos , report broadcast 100 Festivos — and for an exceptional moment, a scoop, a bonus decided by the management. Over ten minutes, Explorers, home professionals, take over.

The Explorers: Festival TV's eyes on the ground

Since 2006, Festival TV has been telling the story of the world's celebrations with its show 'Festival Explorer'. The Explorers network extends that work: correspondents trained and supervised by the house, who film the festivals nobody films, where they live. That is the difference between a snatched image and a report: a protocol, a signature, a responsibility.

Festivals ranked, so you can find your way

The catalogue now holds more than 320 festivals. To find your way, Festival TV now ranks festivals by real size, modelled on the great European awards: Mainstream for the giants, Medium for the big stages, Small for human-sized gatherings, Micro — the house signature — for the small regional festivals we love so much, not forgetting the Newcomers. The 'Our festivals' page will soon present the catalogue by category, with filters.

A platform being built in the open

These menus are not empty promises: they open in stages, on the site, and everyone can follow their construction. Today's feature, the monkey banquet of Lopburi, is living proof: Festival TV tells the story of the world's celebrations — and builds, at the same time, the tool for the people who make them.

Festival TV — the TV of every celebration in the world, starting with the ones nobody films.
