Since its first use at the Giffoni Film Festival in July 2009, Eventival has supported over 1,500 film festival and event editions all over the world. Both a data hub and a toolbox helping handle a wide range of logistical needs, the platform is widely considered the most sophisticated, flexible and reliable festival management tool on the market.

People involved in the worlds of culture and technology but unfamiliar with the intricate mechanisms of festivals would often ask: Film festival software? What for? Isn’t it just about watching movies, partying with celebrities, travelling the world? Well, maybe – for a week. What leads to that week are months of very serious and demanding work, full of deadlines, decisions, conflicts, changes, choices, and emergencies.

The inevitable first tool of every festival and event organizer is a spreadsheet, and while rows and columns are phenomenally simple, at a certain point they become a nightmare, and people begin to look around for professional solutions – and that’s when they discover Eventival.

Today, besides over 100 major film festivals in over 40 countries connecting thousands of staff members with nearly a million filmmakers, guests and industry professionals, Eventival is also used by an ever-growing number of other organizations – film centers, award organizers, film schools, professional associations, theatre festivals, photographic competitions, book fairs and other companies.
