<h2>Fairness</h2>
<p>If artistic painters can decide prices for their work, why shouldn't filmmakers and video content creators?</p>
<p>VidaFair is a new pay-per-rental video monetization platform based on fair pricing and transactions between creators and consumers. VidaFair allows video creators to set their own fee for 24-hour video stream rentals of their content. Video viewers pay the content creator fee and a small fee to VidaFair, without being asked to subscribe to anything, ever. Creators and viewers get the safety and security of the PayPal payment processing.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>We do believe content creators should set their own prices</h2>
<p>Just like painters, photographers, interior decorators and a whole host of other creative professionals who set prices for their work, we believe film and video producers should have the freedom to dream, create and then charge what they see fit. Content creators know best the costs, time spent and market demand for their work. <br><br></p>
<h2>We do respect and compensate creators</h2>
<p>VidaFair represents a significant paradigm shift from other platforms, where content creators can only ever receive a tiny fraction of the proceeds for their work, or are charged platform fees based on a percentage of rental price. We've been content creators ourselves. <br><br></p>
<h2 style="text-align:left;">We do respect and protect video consumers</h2>
<p>Your viewing habits are no one else's business but yours. We accept no corporate sponsorships, no data sharing arrangements and no advertising. Our revenue model is simple and clear -- reasonable fees to host and stream video which are a function of file size, not the creators' prices. Nothing else under the radar, over the radar or otherwise. Sometimes a service that's marketed as "free," isn't as free as people think.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>We don't own anyone’s content</h2>
<p>Some very well known video streaming platforms bury tricky copyright transfer language in long, complex "Terms of Service" agreements. At VidaFair, by contrast, all content remains the property of the content creators. We will never assert ownership of any film or video, ever.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>We don't waste your time</h2>
<p>Do you really want to watch advertisements? Or have them interrupt your film or video? We don't. Nor do we think your time is "free." Other platforms surprise viewers with advertisements they neither want, nor expect. On VidaFair, we don't sell your time to outside groups or companies through ads.<br></p>
<h2>We don't run other businesses</h2>
<p>We don't run search engines, email services or marketing campaigns. We don't send ads to creators or viewers, or sell information to anyone about viewers' preferences. <br></p>
<p>And it goes beyond just a matter of personal privacy. In a broader way, we believe more content platforms will always be healthier than fewer, because a social media landscape of very few extremely powerful behemoths poses societal risks.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>We don't offer, nor allow subscriptions</h2>
<p>We believe subscriptions can sometimes be a slick way customers get charged for services they don't use. At VidaFair, every streaming video rental is specifically authorized. Since there are no subscriptions on VidaFair, there’s never such a thing as “forgetting to unsubscribe.”</p>
<p>No VidaFair transaction ever automatically repeats. You decide every purchase on the VidaFair platform. That's how we want to be treated when we use an internet site. <br><br></p>

Privacy Policy

<h2>Why Should I Pay for Videos? Shouldn’t Videos Be Free?</h2>
<p>VidaFair is based on a micropayment model that allows content creators fair compensation for their work. Unlike other platforms, VidaFair lets content creators set the streaming prices for their videos, and uses no advertising. VidaFair's costs include data storage, data streaming, software development and financial transaction fees.</p>
<p>We’re based on a simple premise: There is a price point for many online videos that will satisfy both viewers and creators as fair trade, and it's usually quite low.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Is a grain approximately equal to one U.S. cent?</h2>
<p>If viewers buy their grains on the web and in the largest quantities ($20), yes.</p>
<p>For American users, that math becomes pretty simple:</p>
<ul>
<li>A video rental that costs 15 grains to stream equates to US $0.15 or 15 U.S. cents.</li>
<li>A video rental that costs 120 grains, or g120, equates to US $1.20.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<p>Note: If users buy their grains through mobile apps, there may be additional fees which we pass along. Also, grains bought in smaller quantities cost more due to financial transaction costs.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Can I get a refund if the video isn’t what I expected? Or if my internet connection goes down?</h2>
<p>We don’t pre-screen videos, nor can we control the quality of users’ internet connections. For that reason, VidaFair video rental decisions are non-refundable. It would make no economic sense for VidaFair to incur administrative costs for researching individual refund requests, many of which would be for pennies.</p>
<p>We’ve all been disappointed by movies or live shows we paid to see. VidaFair viewers assume the risk that a video they rent may not be what they expected it would be — or that their own internet connection or hardware device may deliver sub-standard performance.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Can videos rented on the VidaFair website be viewed on the VidaFair mobile app?</h2>
<p>Yes, the same VidaFair account can be accessed via web, Android app or iPhone app.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Can I share a VidaFair link with great content on social media?</h2>
<p>Great minds think alike! The content creators will appreciate it -- and so will we!&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Can organizations pay to reach you, the VidaFair user base?</h2>
<p>No. Unlike some other video streaming sites, VidaFair will never sell data about our users to marketing companies, nor sell access to our users’ streams. We don’t run email services, nor search engines. We don’t bombard you with ads. We do exactly one thing: Allow content creators a platform for video rentals at a reasonable price. Transparency and simplicity equals fairness.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>After renting a video on VidaFair, can it be viewed endlessly?</h2>
<p>No. In an effort to keep costs down, we believe 10 views within a 24-hour time period ought to be enough. We realize that life has interruptions and internet connections can be disrupted. Still, keeping our minimum rental prices low requires a compromise between flexibility for viewers and potential costs. We believe a 10-view, 24-hour limit on video rentals is fair. Now you know. But remember, users are also free to rent a video again for additional views.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Does VidaFair pre-screen uploaded content?</h2>
<p>No. Content creators and video renters should understand that VidaFair has no ability to pre-screen content in any way, as and such, all users agree to hold VidaFair harmless for any action related to the business of streaming, storing, renting and monetizing videos. By creating a VidaFair account, users waive the right to pursue lawsuits naming VidaFair because we either streamed, failed to stream or deleted a video.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Does VidaFair allow any kind of video content?</h2>
<p>No. We don’t allow pornography, child abuse, threats of violence, personal information publication (doxing), or copyright violations. Any viewers are welcome to Flag a video if they believe it violates any of these prohibited categories.</p>
<p>We understand that some of these judgements can be subjective, and well-intentioned people might disagree whether a certain video meets any of these criteria. But please help us keep VidaFair content healthy by flagging any video you believe violates these rules.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Can VidaFair Viewers Help the World?</h2>
<p>As viewers, even your small payments for watching content on VidaFair can help evolve the economics of content creation, such that those with talent and vision can be the primary beneficiaries of their efforts, rather than multinational conglomerates. Shouldn't it be that way? Shouldn't creators be allowed to monetize their work to whatever degree that work deserves? We think so too.</p>




About Viewing Videos

<h2>Can I really set the streaming price for rentals of my original videos?</h2>
<p>Yes. Isn’t it great? You set the fee you want to be paid for each rental of your video. To get started, it's a minimum upload charge of only $5.99 (USD) -- that buys you 500 VidaFair tokens called "grains" which are enough for 5 separate video uploads (each video upload costs g100). VidaFair's free Earnings Calculator, available via the website's drop down menu, makes a video's creator fee setting and resulting per-rental retail price very clear. You can experiment with how different creator fees of your video, of a particular duration, affect the rental price shown to the public.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>How do I get paid for views?</h2>
<p>Every rental of your videos increase the balance of grain tokens shown in your account -- and it's quite simple -- each grain is equivalent to one US penny. Once you have a balance of 2,000 grains or more (which equates to just a $20 minimum), you can use the Cash Out feature in the VidaFair drop down menu to get paid. After supplying a PayPal-registered email address, you can request 2,000 grains or more to be converted to dollars. Cash Out requests are closed each week at Saturday at 12:00amET (NYC time), take about a week for processing, and are subject to a 2% financial transaction fee.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<h2>How much can I make?</h2>
<p>Use our Earnings Calculator to see for yourself! It's in the drop down menu on the VidaFair homepage. Enter a video duration, the creator fee you might want to be paid per rental, and the number of views you might expect in 12-months. (Minimum allowable rental prices are a product of video duration.)</p>
<h2>How should I set those prices?</h2>
<p>That’s up to you — creators are free to set their own fees per rental. Our Earnings Calculator makes it easy to see how different creator fees affect rental price points for your video's duration.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In general, we advise creators to set modest fees. After all, most people aren’t yet accustomed to gatekeeper free, pay-per-stream content. We believe fairness in pricing will foster loyalty among viewers over time, and lower-than-expected pricing often results in more overall revenue.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Why doesn't VidaFair charge a percentage?</h2>
<p>Since VidaFair's variable costs are based on streaming and storage services, which are tied to file size, we believe it's fairest to base our fee on video duration rather than the creator's choice for a fee. A streaming platform isn't providing more of a service simply because a content creator priced it higher. A platform's streaming fee should be based on its costs -- at least if the objective is maximizing fairness.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Will my fans need to subscribe to your service?</h2>
<p>No. VidaFair neither requires, nor even offers subscriptions. VidaFair units of value are called grains, and they're approximately equal to U.S. pennies, or cents. Every VidaFair grain purchase is a one-time transaction, and each new purchase has to be authorized separately by users.</p>
<p>We believe that while subscriptions may have a place, they aren't the best fit for every style of video content, especially independent producers. It's important for your potential viewers to know that this platform will never ask them to subscribe. #SubscriptionFatigue</p>
<h2>To Cash Out 2,000 grains to US$20, must all the grains be generated by a single video?</h2>
<p>No. All you need is to have a minimum of 2,000 grains (sometimes expressed as "g2000") and a PayPal ID. (Cash Outs are subject to a 2% financial transaction fee.)</p>
<h2>How do I ask fans to pay for content that's already free on other platforms, like YouTube?</h2>
<p>You probably shouldn't (although nothing would stop you). We recommend that creators continue producing content for existing platforms as they have before, and use VidaFair for different, special content unavailable elsewhere, or possibly even older, archived content. In this regard, it would be quite similar to how some creators promote separate content for a Patreon subscriber platform. The difference, of course, is that renting videos on VidaFair requires no subscriptions and can cost only pennies to view via our micropayment architecture.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Should I market the videos I upload to VidaFair?</h2>
<p>Yes. VidaFair is a new content monetization platform. While people browsing VidaFair content will be able to see your work, you should also tell your followers that it's available for rent on VidaFair, for the low, low price of... an amount mostly determined by you.</p>
<p>Promoting unique VidaFair content to subscribers via social media would be akin to promoting subscription-only Patreon content via social media -- which is quite common.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<h2>How will I persuade followers to enter a credit card when they're used to watching videos for free?&nbsp;</h2>
<p>You might want to let them know:</p>
<p>• They will not be subscribing -- every single VidaFair grain purchase is a one-time, a la carte transaction. Who needs another subscription?</p>
<p>• They will not be subjected to advertising on the VidaFair website or app.</p>
<p>• The entry level grain package price of US$5.99 is a one-time charge that does not repeat. This means if they buy $5.99 of grains once, no other charge will ever appear unless they authorize it again. In an online media space increasingly dominated by subscriptions, this is the key difference and a strategic advantage of the VidaFair model.&nbsp;</p>
<p>• They can depend on the security of PayPal payment processing for cash outs (via web browser access).&nbsp;</p>
<p>• No one will ever sell their content choices to marketers. They should know VidaFair is not involved in other businesses like search engines, email services or ad campaigns.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>After uploading a video, does it remain on the platform forever?</h2>
<p>Videos uploaded to VidaFair remain available for rental for a minimum period of one year, although videos actively receiving rentals will continue to get extended at no charge. By uploading to VidaFair, content creators agree that they will retain other copies of the videos, and VidaFair will not be responsible for storing the only copy of a video.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Will VidaFair own the content I upload?&nbsp;</h2>
<p>No. Unlike some other video streaming platforms, VidaFair will never claim any form of ownership over any video content. Uploading to VidaFair has no effect on copyrights.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Why does VidaFair have grain tokens at all -- why not just use dollars for everything?&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Financial transaction fees and credit card charges were never designed for inexpensive, micropayment-level transactions that are required for VidaFair's model of online video rentals. VidaFair's proprietary method of adapting the internet token architecture to rentals of video streams is one of the key innovations that made our service possible, and why nothing like it exists elsewhere. Our grain tokens seamlessly enable both simple, one-time <em>a la carte</em> video rentals, as well as volume discounts for repeat users via our grain token packages.&nbsp;</p>
<p>VidaFair's grain tokens, in fact, are quite easy to understand once you get used to them. You can think of the VidaFair grains you earn as U.S. pennies -- simply move the decimal point over two digits to the left to convert your grain balance to the dollar amount that you'll be able to cash out, after a minimum g2,000 balance is met, (less a 2% financial transaction fee).&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Do you really care about copyrights?</h2>
<p>It’s a violation of VidaFair's Terms and Conditions for anyone to upload video content for which they do not have ownership or authority to monetize. We take copyright strikes seriously and reserve the right to immediately and permanently ban users who are deemed to have violated our copyright policy. We will also remove such videos without refund.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Fair Use provisions of modern U.S. copyright law allow for use of short segments of other people's work for purposes of critique or satire. VidaFair takes a stricter interpretation of Fair Use than many other sites. We do not allow continuous clips of over 60 seconds of another person's work for any reason, and we do not allow videos where over 50% of the entire content came from someone besides the VidaFair uploader. We are not limited to these provisions when enforcing copyrights, but they are our starting point. Videos may also be removed for unlicensed use of music or photographs.

NURSERY RHYMES

AND THE BABY SCREAM

Anarchy emerges at a public pool birthday party when a group of small girls push the limits of their strength and power. Underdog Ronja challenges the girls’ alpha female to battle for dominance. The game escalates quickly, and as the thirst for power grows, Ronja and the other girls lose control.


Director Fanny Ovesen said in an interview:
"The idea was born when the all-female crew discussed our experiences of being raised as “good girls”, always behaving, being responsible, preferably cute, and expected to take care of everyone including ourselves. However, we also had some intense memories of pushing the limits of our strength and capacity, and when doing this we often ended up hitting too hard since we weren’t as used to these kinds of games as our male friends who were always playing around measuring their strength.

"We felt eager to explore how an audience would react to small girls who, for once in a while, don’t behave innocently and pleasingly – but who act immorally and take up space in the world."

SHE-PACK

People are always looking for an explanation why they are the way they are. Character traits that are dictated by starry constellations relieve us of the responsibility to change and grow. 

The main characters of “Your Future” are the personified zodiacs. Their typical traits are put into a new context and exaggerated to the point of absurdity. The cosmic creatures tell stories of the chaos and non-sense of being human, of the everyday life and surprises, of love and boredom, of sex and violence and everything that makes life beautiful and terrible.

TIKERI

As a child, Carlotta didn’t expect the people around here to have faces. She even doesn’t recognize her own face. Years later, she learns about a rare, untreatable deficit of her brain. It was art, after all, that offered her a way to finally recognize herself.

We all share the same kind of brain yet everybody has a different view of the world around us. As a very intriguing example, Carlotta vividly explains how a world without faces does look like. She suffers from the miswiring of a tiny brain region that makes it impossible for her to see and remember faces as a complete construct, called prosopagnosia or face blindness. 

In an interdisciplinary attempt between a scientist and an artist, we tried to convey the social pressure that Carlotta has felt her whole life. Still, she developed a novel and beautiful way of artistic expression that allows her to see herself in haptic selfportraits which would not be possible for her when looking into the mirror. 

----------------------
In Germany, CARLOTTA'S FACE was awarded with the "Short Tiger Award 2018" of the German Federal Film Board (FFA), received the "Prädikat besonders wertvoll" from the Deutsche Film- und Medienbewertung (FBW), and was listed among the FFA's TOP10 successful German short films in 2018.

Our film was invited to over 200 national and international film festivals and won 32 awards, among them at Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, DOK Leipzig, Int. Kurzfilmfestival Hamburg, Edmonton Int. Film Festival, SPARK Animation, Anibar Animation Festival.
