Public playback permissions

Updated October 3, 2026.

Two independent public playback permissions

Both permissions are optional and independent. You may choose either, both or neither. Your choices do not affect festival consideration, judging, selection or awards.

Festival-period public screening authorization

I authorize OnShow to publicly stream my full submitted film on OnShow.com only during December 15–25, 2026, in America/Vancouver time. Festival-only playback stops automatically when this period ends. I confirm that I have the necessary rights to grant this authorization.

Long-term public streaming authorization

I authorize OnShow to publicly stream my full submitted film on OnShow.com on an ongoing basis, with no fixed end date, until I request withdrawal. I confirm that I have the necessary rights to grant this authorization.

Film Profiles and playback

Festival-period permission covers only December 15–25, 2026 in America/Vancouver time. Long-term permission has no fixed end date and continues until withdrawal. These are separate from permission to display your film title, poster, synopsis and director biography in a long-term Film Profile.

Editorial review and playback source

Neither permission automatically publishes your film. A separate authorized public playback source, editorial approval and an explicit publishing decision are required. Your private festival screener and password will not be published. Long-term public viewing is planned for a later phase, once a suitable film library has been assembled.

Rights and withdrawal

You retain ownership. To withdraw either playback permission, contact [email protected] with your film reference. OnShow will disable playback under its control within five business days of a verified request, prioritizing urgent rights concerns. Third-party platforms control their own copies. Withdrawing full-film playback does not automatically remove your promotional Film Profile; you may request its removal separately.

OnShow Watch participation is currently free. A future paid-publishing policy applies only to new publishing requests. Existing free requests will not automatically be billed.

OnShow records your choices, consent text version, source, timestamp and film reference. External players contact their providers when loaded. Public viewing remains subject to technical availability, editorial policies and rights requirements.
