Receive masters.
Validate DCP packages.
Collaborate with your lab.
Stream screenings.
Deliver cinema packages.

All within the accsyn Media Vault – powered by the fast and resumable ASC file transfer protocol.

Why accsyn for Film Festivals?

Because festival media workflows are fragmented.

Files arrive from everywhere:

Filmmakers
Sales agents
Labs
Distributors

And they must be:

validated
organised
screened
delivered

accsyn unifies all of this.

One platform.
One catalogue.
One secure infrastructure.

A Platform That Does Not Exist Elsewhere

Most festivals rely on a patchwork of tools:

Upload portals
Hard drives
Spreadsheet tracking
External streaming services
Separate delivery tools

accsyn replaces that complexity with a single coherent system.

Media Vault provides:

Structured film catalogue
Reliable master ingest
Automated validation
Cinema delivery
Secure streaming

All powered by the accelerated accsyn transfer infrastructure.

There is currently no other platform that covers the entire festival media lifecycle in one system.

Security & Integrity – Engineered, Not Added

End-to-end encryption

All data in transit is encrypted:

AES-128 by default
AES-256 configurable for stricter environments

Your media moves encrypted across public networks – without compromise.

Modern identity model

accsyn does not store personal passwords.

Authentication is handled via SOC2-compliant identity infrastructure using OAuth-based flows.

Users can authenticate through trusted identity providers such as Google or enterprise SSO solutions.

Internally:

Token-based request validation
Role-based access control
Scoped permissions

No shared credentials.

No hidden local password databases.

Audit as a First-Class Citizen

Every action is logged:

Transfers
Publish events
API calls
Configuration changes
Farm jobs

Audit is not an afterthought — it is built into the platform.

For CTOs, this means:

Traceability
Accountability
Operational transparency
