Who can access films on T-Port?

Films on T-Port can only be accessed by ‘industry professionals’.

In general,  ‘industry professionals’ are individuals and company representatives who are involved professionally with the global film industry for the purpose of promotion and distribution of films and/or emerging talent. This includes, but is not limited to, festival programmers and executives, sales agents, buyers, distributors, producers, and film school executives.

How do you verify the identity of the professional users?

All users go through a process of examination to verify their professional background and details. Filmmakers can only watch their own films and do not have access to view other filmmakers’ films.

Does uploading films give T-Port the right to distribute these films?

No, our agreement is non exclusive and allow us to stream the films online on T-Port. We will not publicly or commercially screen a film without consent of the owners of the films. Contact us at info@tportmarket.com for more details about our agreements.

Will the premiere/screening status be affected if the films are uploaded to T-Port?

No. Having a film on T-Port is not considered as a public screening as we restrict viewing access to industry professionals only and so, this should not compromise the chances of taking part in other festivals with the film. This is similar to having a private link, but simultaneously allows professionals who haven’t been exposed to the film yet to access it when they wouldn’t otherwise.

How do you make sure films on the platform are secure?

Every film that is uploaded to our platform is protected using the most advanced SSL encryption protocol technologies and is stored in a secure server that can only be accessed by registered T-Port users, only on T-Port. Additionally, films are not downloadable and can only be accessed via streaming.
