Ben Vandendaele, a long-time sales agent specialising in short films, attended the Marché du Film to unveil FilmConnector, a bold new initiative born from the everyday frustrations of festival submissions and fragmented workflows. From development to global distribution, FilmConnector offers a fully integrated platform that streamlines workflows, eliminates email chaos, and boosts international reach through smart matchmaking, AI-powered automation, and direct material delivery. Built for every stakeholder — from filmmakers and producers to film funds and schools — the tool aims to radically change how films navigate the festival landscape.
