Questions

The things worth
asking first.

Short answers, and none of them written to be technically true.

What is Lannore?

Lannore is a curated streaming platform for independent film. It combines a selected catalogue of festival shorts, animation, documentary and first features with digital premieres, filmmaker profiles and transparent revenue sharing. It is not an open upload host: every film is reviewed before it is published.

What does it cost a filmmaker to submit a film?

Nothing. Submitting a film to Lannore is free, and there is no mandatory subscription for filmmakers. Lannore earns a share only when a film actually earns — it does not charge for consideration, placement or reach.

Do filmmakers keep the rights to their films?

Yes. Filmmakers keep ownership of their work. The standard licence is non-exclusive, with defined territories and terms. An optional 30-day digital first-run window at Lannore is available, after which the film remains non-exclusive. Films can be withdrawn under the terms agreed in writing.

How is revenue split between Lannore and filmmakers?

The starting terms are 80% to the rights holder and 20% to Lannore on single rentals, and 90/10 on tips. Subscription revenue, once a subscription exists, is shared from a pool of 50% allocated to creators. Splits apply to content net revenue — the amount left after VAT, refunds and payment fees — and every payout is itemised by film and revenue source.

What kind of films is Lannore looking for?

Independent work with a point of view: shorts, features, series, animation, documentary, student work and transparently labelled AI-assisted filmmaking from anywhere in the world. Lannore launches in English and curates broadly across formats, genres, regions and perspectives.

Is Lannore a subscription service?

Not at the start. A verified account is required to enter the catalogue, open film or creator pages, watch trailers, follow filmmakers, rent a film or buy a premiere ticket. An optional ad-free membership is planned only after at least 50 suitable licensed films and proven viewer retention.

What does a film cost to watch?

The planned starting price is €1.99 for a short title and €3.99 for a regular title, with 48 hours to watch after first play and 30 days to start. A standard digital premiere starts at €4.99; extended live events may cost €6.99–9.99. Every offer remains subject to rights, country availability and a positive cost floor.

What is a digital premiere on Lannore?

A digital premiere is a scheduled screening with a start time, a countdown, a shared audience and usually a live Q&A with the director or team. Instead of a film quietly appearing in a catalogue, it opens on a date, to people who chose to be there.

How are payouts calculated?

Rentals and premiere tickets are attributed directly to the film that earned them. Where revenue comes from a shared pool, a film's share is its qualified watch minutes divided by the qualified watch minutes of all films in the pool. Qualified means plausibly human viewing from a valid account past a minimum duration, excluding detected bots, duplicate accounts and reversed payments.

Who decides which films are accepted?

Lannore is editorially curated. Submissions are reviewed by the platform's moderation and curation process, and acceptance is never for sale. Paid creator tools cannot influence rankings, editorial recommendations or acceptance decisions.

What are the Lannore Awards?

Five annual categories: Grand Jury Award, Audience Choice, Best Director, Best Debut and Best Short Film. Audience Choice is decided entirely by verified viewers, with one vote per person per category and a minimum watch requirement of around half the film. The remaining categories are decided by an independent, published jury.

Who is behind Lannore?

Lannore is built by AGIMetis. The platform is pre-launch: the controlled closed beta targets 5 rights-cleared films and the official public launch targets 10–12. A small founding creator cohort is onboarded personally, without inventing a creator-count promise.
