Festival Partner Programme · Pilot
Get paid for the filmmakers you bring to Maltivas
Your festival already has a community of filmmakers. Bring them to Maltivas and earn a share of the fees and subscriptions they generate, every month.
Spots go in the order festivals sign.
How it works
- 1
Sign the partner agreement
Read the terms and sign online in a couple of minutes. Your referral link switches on as soon as your festival has a pilot spot.
- 2
Bring your filmmakers
Share your link, or invite the filmmakers who submitted to your festival in one click. Award submissions to your festival count too.
- 3
Earn every month
You earn a share of Maltivas fees and subscriptions from every filmmaker you bring, paid out monthly.
What you earn
of the platform fees Maltivas earns on your filmmakers' sales
of the Maltivas subscriptions they pay
you keep earning for as long as they're on Maltivas
Your share comes out of Maltivas's fees. It never reduces what your filmmakers earn.
Everything you need to bring filmmakers in
Your own referral links
Up to five links or codes, one per campaign, with opens and sign-ups for each.
One-click submitter invites
Invite filmmakers from your festival who aren't on Maltivas yet. We send it on your behalf, once per person.
Award submissions count
A new filmmaker who submits to your festival's awards is credited to you automatically.
Live affiliate dashboard
See link opens, sign-ups, subscribers and earnings in your Analytics tab. Totals only, never names.
Monthly payouts
Paid to your connected Stripe account once your balance reaches $25. Each share clears a 30-day refund window first.
Your deal is locked in
The share you sign is the share you keep. If the programme terms change later, your signed terms stay as they are.

- Submit to festivals like the ones you love
Got a code from your festival?
No code? You can still join Maltivas.
Questions
Who can join?+
Film festivals running on Maltivas. The pilot is open to US festivals and limited to 20 spots. When it's full, new festivals join a waitlist and move up automatically as spots open.
Does it cost anything?+
No. Joining is free, and your share comes out of Maltivas's fees, never your filmmakers' earnings.
Which filmmakers count as mine?+
Filmmakers who join Maltivas as new creators through your link, your code, or by submitting to your festival's awards. The first festival a filmmaker joins through is the one they're credited to. People who were already on Maltivas don't count.
Can I see who signed up?+
You see totals: how many opened your link, joined, subscribed and are set up to get paid. We don't share filmmakers' names or details.
When do I get paid?+
Monthly, to your connected Stripe account, once your available balance reaches $25. Each share waits 30 days first in case of refunds.
Can I leave?+
Yes. Either side can end the partnership at any time. Shares you've already earned are still paid under your agreement.
