Abstract: A film festival may play hundreds of films. Managing the variances in technical requirements for the film data to accommodate different screens and projectors, transferring the film data, and the coordinating digital communication from potentially hundreds of filmmakers may be technically challenging. A server system is provided to manage the transfer of the digital film data, the scheduling and assignment of film data with specific projector devices, and to validate the film data. The server system also provides graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to the film festival organizer to manage a print ticket process and the scheduling process, and GUIs to a filmmaker to facilitate transferring of the film data.
