Sales and Agency

The primary purpose of our activities in this area is to connect current film productions with as many relevant international festivals as possible. The works and their makers have their first opportunity to meet both the public and the industry there. Festivals, vital for promotion and the exchange of information, is where the foundation of a work’s success is laid. sixpackfilm now cooperates with 200 festivals around the world, which results in over 500 invitations annually.
 As part of its festival presence, sixpackfilm provides information to the press, distributes advertising materials, visits film markets, places films with other international distributors and collections, and works on the niches in the market segment: television and VoD.

Distribution

After a work has made the rounds of the relevant festivals, it is added to our uncomplicated rental system. Our program currently includes approximately 1.900 titles, among them many classics of the Austrian avant-garde can be discovered.

Our archive, which is – beside the online catalogue – open for all research needs, contains screener links, DVDs, festival catalogs, reviews, relevant literature and photographs.
