Filmfestivals.com deals with many festivals worldwide with a trust relationship.
Most of these festivals are international and located in many foreign territories. When they buy our services, mostly advertising campaign they receive a contract as in any international business transactions.

Most of them fulfill their financial obligations a few do not pay and act like cowboys or cowgirls whatever:

We prefer to call this a breach of confidence. Legal experts would give an other word and command some actions.
We prefer to warn filmmakers when we notice such behaviours.

Be careful when dealing with Artivists they have asked us lots of specific favors, begged for our help, postponing payment, asked for instalments...and went on ignoring us once the banners had been delivered thinking that distance, miles and frontiers are enough protection for such behavious..

No decency in excuse, no excuse, no comment, just silence.

The Artivist Collective' mission: educating the general public on the need for art, education and activism in our communities.
They claim support from
