These terms and conditions apply to any public screening organized in partnership with MAATMOV.
Our films are available for rental for one-off screenings or tours, intended for associations, collectives, cinemas, institutions, and cultural organizations wishing to host a film event or a public discussion.

Booking a film with MAATMOV implies full and unconditional acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Nature of Services

MAATMOV offers:

The rental of films for public screenings, either one-off events or as part of tours (multiple screenings over a given period);
Logistical and communication support for organizing the event (providing promotional materials, publishing information on the website, coordinating with the venue);
The facilitation of contact with the director or, where applicable, with a specialized speaker to lead a screening-debate.

MAATMOV does not sell films or provide copies for private, personal, or commercial use other than that intended for authorized screenings.

Order and Confirmation

All screening requests must be sent to contact@maatmov.com or submitted via the contact form on the website.
Once the date, time, and venue are confirmed, MAATMOV will send the organizer an information form to complete. These details are used for:

Issue the invoice;
Prepare the communication materials for the event;
Organize the technical delivery of the film (digital DCP copy or another format, as appropriate).

The order becomes final upon written confirmation from MAATMOV, confirming the availability of the film and, where applicable, that of the director or guest speaker.

Rates and Payment Terms

The standard rental rate is set at €220 (all taxes included) per screening. This rate includes the provision of the film, support from MAATMOV, and compensation for the director and their team.

This rate may be adjusted depending on the nature of the event, upon a justified request and prior approval from MAATMOV.

For tours, a flat or sliding scale rate may be offered depending on the number of screenings and the duration.

Payments are made upon receipt of an invoice issued by MAATMOV, according to the terms specified at the time of order confirmation.

Organizer’s Obligations

The organizer agrees to:

Act as the main point of contact for MAATMOV regarding event organization and payment;
Provide all necessary information to ensure the proper conduct of the event;
Comply with the technical and legal conditions for film exhibition;
Mention the name of the film, the director, and MAATMOV on all communication materials related to the screening.
The organizer also agrees to take all necessary measures to protect the reputation and image of both the director and the distributor. In the event of any direct or indirect harm to said reputation or image, the organizer shall bear full responsibility and cover all related costs, including legal fees.

If the director or a guest speaker is present, the organizer is responsible for covering travel and accommodation expenses, unless otherwise agreed.

Film Delivery

MAATMOV provides a digital DCP copy (or any other agreed format) directly to the screening venue. For venues requiring an internet connection, a viewing link on Vimeo can also be provided.

The delivery and retrieval of the materials are coordinated by MAATMOV.

Any use of the film outside the agreed date, location, or conditions is strictly prohibited.

MAATMOV and the directors reserve the right to take any necessary legal or extrajudicial action to ensure the protection and defense of their respective interests.
