Tártaro Showcase is an open call by Tártaro Films, a Spanish film sales agency and distributor specialising in fantasy and horror/genre cinema, to find independent films that deserve a life beyond the festival circuit.
Every submission is reviewed by our programming team. Finalists and winners are offered something concrete: a proposal to join the Tártaro Films catalogue and, in Spain, to be taken to digital platforms such as Prime Video and Filmin, or wherever the film fits best. Net revenue generated is shared 50/50 between Tártaro Films and the rights holder. Winners are also proposed for an in-person screening at Sombra Festival (Murcia, Spain), where Tártaro Films is a collaborating partner, and for its Audience Award, subject to the festival’s confirmation and rules.
Everything is offered through an individual written agreement. Nothing is guaranteed by submitting, and distribution on any platform depends on that platform’s own acceptance.
WHAT WE ACCEPT
Short films and feature films in fantasy, horror, sci-fi, thriller and related genres, in any subgenre, from any year. Films in any language are welcome with English or Spanish subtitles.
WHAT YOU GET
Review by programmers who work daily with genre cinema and international sales
Official Selection laurel for selected films
Finalists and winners: a proposal to join the Tártaro Films catalogue
In Spain: a proposal to take your film to digital platforms (Prime Video, Filmin or wherever it fits best), with a 50/50 split of net revenue
Visibility with buyers and platforms through our catalogue and sales work, and sales opportunities depending on availability
Winners: a proposed in-person screening at Sombra Festival and eligibility for its Audience Award (subject to the festival’s confirmation and rules)
You keep all your rights. Submitting transfers nothing: finalists and winners receive an individual written agreement before anything is done with their film
