Updated March 2020 Greetings! Life, reimagined! Lots of links. Check out our new streaming platform, ONEPlusphi TV.
The number of over-the-top streaming platforms on the market is vast. Finding the best service provider is no small task. Vimeo OTT takes care of all the heavy lifting that comes with creating and growing a video subscription business. From building branded apps, to speedy customer service for us and our subscribers, they’ve got you covered. Here’s why we chose Vimeo OTT over the rest.
Infinite Perimeter Films, AIAFilmmakers, OnePlusphi TV and all of our projects intend to comply with Vimeo OTT’s Terms of Service. Consequently, we rely on our community of creatives to make our sites and projects a vibrant source of creative and interesting content of all kinds while keeping in mind a few rules regarding subject matter we do not allow on our streaming platforms. Read here. Check out these Tips & Best Practices. If you believe your work has been infringed upon, please don’t hesitate to call/text us. If we’re unable to address your concern directly and immediately, we ask you to file a claim on Vimeo’s copyright page. Please read here, here, here, and here.
Strong Customer Authentication, or SCA, is a requirement of the European Union’s Revised Directive on Payment Services (PSD2) for payment service providers within the European Economic Area. SCA affects businesses based in the European Economic Area (EEA) serving customers in that region. SCA is intended to verify customer identity and reduce the number of fraudulent transactions. Vimeo OTT uses Stripe for payments processing, and Stripe supports SCA for all one-time and recurring transactions. As far as we can figure, since we’re based in Colorado, we do not need to take any further steps right now re: these policies. You can learn more.

Here’s the event program, PDF. Here’s the Poster. Submitters attended the live event for free; crew, family and friends purchased $5 tickets and/or donated at the door.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your filmic vision with us! We screened shorts, music videos & trailers followed by a brief awards ceremony. We received 60 entries. We screened 36 submissions, including 13 trailers and 23 full-length submissions. Learn more.
Submitters are invited to create your own award graphics & certificates based on our Awards Master, PDF, which should be roughly backward-compatible with previous award titles. Of course, we’re always happy to create a certificate for you upon request at the conclusion of our live event. Here’s an example certificate, PDF.
Please note, beginning 2020, we ask you to create a free picture profile with AIAFilmmakers. Basic membership will never require you to enter any payment information. Advanced member features like premium content, discounted tickets, schwag and special events will eventually be made available to members as part of a selection of paid plans. For now, we’re in open enrollment at least until late 2020. Learn more.
The Association of International Activist Filmmakers regrets that we are unable to screen all of our official selections to our three film festivals. We hope to screen more submissions in upcoming years as we obtain funding and sponsorship. We are planning an annual fundraiser beginning 2021.

Find out about FilmFreeway’s new Gold Membership. Also, before you submit, check out these thoughts courtesy of Greg Sorvig , Director of Film Programming, Heartland Film posted at Medium. For our festivals, here’s our basic review process.
- When we receive a submission, we decide whether or not to “Select” it.
- From these very basic Selections, called “Official Selection” we choose submissions to move up to “Semi-Finalist” and “Finalist.”
- From these, which we now call “Nominees”, we select “Award Winners”.
We decide festival screeners based on the following guidelines: 1. Ease of ability to timely download films from FilmFreeway or Vimeo, 2. Level of communication with submitters, 3. Availability at our chosen venue, and 4. Appeal to a broad cross-section of our judges, volunteers and local filmmaking community. Also read here.
During the week following the conclusion of our live event, we publish all award titles, etc. in PDF format. On occasion, a new submission, which we receive late, is advanced directly to “Semi-Finalist”, “Finalist” or even “Award Winner.” These submissions will also be included in the “Nominees” listing, which we put together during the week following the conclusion of our live event. As a new operation, we’re still working out our awards, events, and various plans and practices. Thanks for your patience! Read more.
