Tártaro Films Showcase (1)

Festival Start: 01 Januar 2027      Festival Ende: 31 Januar 2027

Tártaro Showcase is an open call by Tártaro Films, a Spanish film sales agency and distributor specialising in fantasy and horror/genre cinema, to discover independent films and put the best of them in front of a real audience.

Every submission is reviewed by our programming team. A selection of titles will be invited to join the Tártaro Films showcase, a curated programme on our YouTube channel, under a written agreement with each rights holder. Revenue generated by each film is shared between Tártaro Films and its rights holders. Outstanding titles may also be considered for wider distribution, including Prime Video in Spain, subject to quality, technical requirements and acceptance by the platform. Nothing is guaranteed by submitting.

WHAT WE ACCEPT
Short films and feature films in fantasy, horror, sci-fi, thriller and related genres, in any subgenre, from any year. Films in any language are welcome with English or Spanish subtitles.

WHAT YOU GET
- Review by programmers who work daily with genre cinema and international sales
- Official Selection recognition for selected films
- A chance to be featured in a curated showcase instead of an anonymous upload feed
- A transparent revenue share on what your film actually earns
- A possible path to broader distribution
- You keep all your rights. Submitting transfers nothing: selected filmmakers receive an individual agreement before anything is published.

All awards are decided by our programming team and jury, never by view counts.

- Official Selection: digital laurel and invitation to join the Tártaro Films showcase, subject to a signed agreement
- Jury Award – Best Short Film
- Jury Award – Best Feature Film
- Jury Special Mention

Selected films benefit from a revenue share on income generated through the showcase, as set out in each film's agreement.

Potential Distribution Opportunities

In addition to being featured in the showcase, some films may be considered for commercial distribution in Spain, including digital platforms such as Prime Video or Filmin and, where feasible, physical media. Each opportunity will be evaluated individually and will depend on rights availability, a separate agreement, and acceptance by the relevant platform.

1. Genre. We accept fantasy, horror and related genre films, in any subgenre.
2. Length and year. Shorts and features, from any year of production.
3. Language. Any language, with English or Spanish subtitles.
4. Rights. By submitting, you confirm you hold all necessary rights to the film, including music, footage and performer authorisations, and that the film can be exhibited online.
5. No transfer of rights. Submission only allows us to view the film for evaluation and to use the title, stills and trailer to promote the call. No distribution rights are granted by submitting.
6. Selection. Selected films will be offered a written agreement stating the rights granted, territory, term, exclusivity (if any), revenue share, reporting and withdrawal conditions. Nothing is published without a signed agreement.
7. Revenue share. Calculated on net revenue actually received for each film, with periodic statements, as set out in the agreement.
8. Further distribution. Possible distribution on other platforms (including Prime Video in Spain) would be offered separately and requires a specific agreement.
9. Jury. Decisions are final. Awards are not based on online views or likes.
10. Fair use of the channel. Artificial inflation of views, likes or comments is grounds for disqualification.
11. Privacy. Submission data is processed in accordance with the GDPR for the sole purpose of managing the call.
12. Acceptance. Submitting implies acceptance of these rules. Governed by Spanish law.
