The new solution will provide BMO’s video submission and evaluation functionalities to Eventival’s database solutions.

Eventival and Black Market Online have struck a deal to offer a full-service film submission and evaluation solution for film festivals.

Tomas Prasek, founder/director of Eventival, and Sten Saluveer, head of development of BMO and industry director of the Black Nights Film Festival, negotiated the deal. The full service will be rolled out in summer 2013, with the companies showing a demo during Cannes.

The new solution will provide BMO’s video submission and evaluation functionalities to Eventival’s database solutions.

“Adding to the capabilities of Eventival the option to submit and review films with video has always been on our mind, and I am glad that collaboration with a mature platform such as BMO will make it happen,” said Prasek.

“Our in-depth expertise at BMO in technical development and festival management has resulted in a service that is able to cater to the specific needs of the festival and film industries, retaining a cutting edge feature pack whilst not sacrificing usability that is absolutely crucial in this business,” added Sten-Kristian Saluveer.
