Also, unlimited access to all our films is available to members of our community Tovarystvo with membership levels 35mm and above.

Can I pay for your services via PayPal?

We cannot connect the PayPal payment option, as PayPal is not available for commercial payments in Ukraine. Since the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion, PayPal has started to accept personal money transfers (friends and family). For Takflix, this option is not available, as we are a legal entity. We work transparently, pay taxes and report to rights holders.

You can make payments via the Portmone system, which also supports GooglePay and ApplePay. It is a 100% safe and reliable payment system. Besides, it’s Ukrainian. By making payments via Portmone, you support the Ukrainian economy.

Cooperation
I want my movie to be shown on Takflix

It is important to make sure that your film fits the programming of Takflix. We show films made by Ukrainian creators, creators of Ukrainian origin or films directly related to Ukrainian culture, history, and politics.

We show films of artistic quality and do not take blogs, journalist pieces, essays, Youtube content, etc. An artistic film would normally have a script and a dramatic structure, a visual concept, style integrity and author’s vision. Festival history is an important factor to be qualified for Takflix programming, especially if screened at Molodist KIFF, Odesa IFF, Docudays UA, Wiz-Art.

If your film fits our concept, fill out the following form.


 


 

I have an offer of cooperation for you

How to organize a film screening
How to organize a (public) screening of the film available on your website

VOD streaming service Takflix provides exclusively private (individual) viewings of the films from our catalog. Therefore any film screening with a public announcement or in a public place would be a public screening. Charitable, educational, commercial, or non-commercial screenings are also types of public demonstration.

To organize a public screening, you need permission from film producers. You can find their contacts on movie pages, social networks, and other open sources, such as Dzyga MDB and IMDb.

If you have the budget for the rights to screen the film, we can help you get contacts of producers. We can also provide the rights and projection files in some cases. Contact us at [email protected].

The budget for the rights to the demonstration depends on the screening goals, location, number of viewers, organizers, etc. In Ukraine, the offer could be from $100 for one feature film screening that was already shown in the cinema. Abroad, this amount would be $200-400. Keep in mind that newer movies tend to cost more.
