Filmocracy has entered an agreement with hoopla to offer a curated slate of festival films to over 3,700 participating hoopla libraries and their more than 10 million library card holders. hoopla and public libraries provide the ideal way to provide content exposure that’s often not possible through more mainstream consumer services—a sustainable channel and service that’s growing every day!
Films from previous years and editions of festivals will be shown on hoopla’s main site as TVOD. The current year’s festival will be shown via hoopla BingePass on Filmocracy.com. Users who purchase hoopla’s BingePass will have 7 days of unlimited access to a curated slate of festival films on Filmocracy. BingePass will be automatically available to patrons of libraries who are partnering with hoopla Digital. The new feature directly integrates into the familiar hoopla Digital interface that librarians and patrons already know, trust, and love.

How hoopla works:
Patrons from participating libraries can register to use hoopla through their library card. Every time the user borrows, the library is charged a transaction fee that is shared by hoopla and the partner. Once their borrow expires, the content is removed from the user’s account. They can return to search and re-borrow or borrow more content from the hoopla platform. hoopla is available to participating libraries in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

TVOD content is available on a title-by-title basis for three days while BingePass provides seven days of access to the Filmocracy.com website to watch an unlimited amount of content.

The revenue goes into a pool, which is divided by Filmocracy between the film festivals of that month based on viewership.
