Founding season · Open for submissions

Some films deserve
better than the scroll.

Lannore is a curated house for independent cinema. Festival shorts, animation, documentary and first features — chosen one at a time, opened to an audience that showed up on purpose, and paid out to the people who made them.

The official launch targets 10–12 films. We are choosing them now.

The quiet part

A film can disappear in a place that never rejected it.

Upload it anywhere and it is accepted instantly. It will also land between a recipe video and a game clip, get about eleven seconds to justify itself, and be measured by a system that cannot tell a slow first act from a mistake.

Nobody turned it down. It simply never got a room — no wall, no light, nobody to introduce it, and no way to tell whether the four hundred views were people or noise.

Curation is not a gate we enjoy keeping. It is the only way we can promise a viewer that the next film is worth their evening — and the only way your film is the one being promised.

What we will and will not do
Chosen

A person watches every film

There is no open upload button. Every submission is reviewed before it is published, which is the only reason a small catalogue can be worth trusting.

Opened

Films premiere on a date

A countdown, a room that fills up, and usually the director staying for questions. Not a quiet appearance in row four of a carousel.

Paid

Money is traceable to the film

Every payout is itemised by film and by revenue source. You can see what a rental earned, what a premiere earned, and what was deducted before it got to you.

80% of rental revenue to the rights holder
€0 to submit a film, always
48h viewing window on a rental
100% of your rights stay with you

Starting terms, confirmed in writing before anything is published. Shares apply to net revenue after VAT, refunds and payment fees — the deductions are shown to you, not folded away.

For filmmakers

You keep the film. You keep the rights. We earn when you do.

The submission is free because charging filmmakers for the chance to be seen is a business model we would rather not have.

  • Submission Free. Every submission gets a real answer.
  • Licence Non-exclusive by default, with defined territories and terms. An optional 30-day first-run window if a premiere calls for it.
  • Rentals 80% to you, 20% to Lannore, on net revenue.
  • Tips 90% to you.
  • Analytics Qualified watch time, completion rate and where viewers left — not a view counter that rewards a thumbnail.
  • Payouts Itemised per film and per revenue source, with an audit trail.
  • Leaving Under the terms you agreed, with takedown and archive rules written down in advance.

Premieres

A film only
opens once.

On most platforms a release is a database write. Here it is a time of day. A countdown runs, a room fills, the film starts for everyone at once, and the director usually stays afterwards to answer for it.

It is the oldest trick in cinema, and it still works: people watch differently when they know someone else is watching too.

For viewers

No autoplay. No algorithm apologising for itself.

Rent one film

€1.99 for a short, €3.99 for a feature, 48 hours to watch it. No membership you have to remember to cancel. Catalogue and playback require a verified account.

Take a seat at a premiere

€4.99 standard; €6.99–9.99 for extended live events for a scheduled screening, usually with the director there afterwards to answer questions.

Follow the filmmakers

Not channels. People — with credits, a body of work, and a notification when the next one opens.

Vote where it counts

Audience Choice is decided by viewers who actually watched, with one verified vote each and a minimum of 50% of the film.

How it works

From a private link to a premiere

  1. 01

    Open a submission workspace

    Create a verified account and start without a fee or mandatory creator subscription. Private film material and rights declarations stay inside the protected app workflow.

  2. 02

    We watch it and answer

    A real response either way. If it is a fit we talk about timing, territories and price before anything is signed.

  3. 03

    We open it properly

    Poster, credits, subtitles, an editorial introduction and a premiere date. Your film arrives introduced rather than uploaded.

  4. 04

    You get paid and you can see why

    Rentals, tickets and tips land in your account itemised by film and source, with the deductions shown rather than summarised.

Principles

Ten things we
will not do.

A platform is easiest to judge by what it has ruled out. Four of ours, in full:

  • No open mass upload without review.
  • No paid placement — reach is never for sale.
  • No exclusivity by default; the rights stay yours.
  • No revenue share that we cannot show you the maths for.
  • Read all ten

There will be a second season.
There is only one first.

The founding films and the founding audience arrive together, once. Everything after that is a catalogue.
