EXCLUSIVE: London- and Australia-based film and technology company Fablemaze has partnered with UK science fiction film festival Sci-Fi-London to host the 2022 Short Film Program on its new video hosting and annotation platform.

The program has been extended to June 4.Developed in-house at Fablemaze, the platform is designed to bridge the gap between premium content streaming services and online video platforms while also bringing a facility for filmmakers to add extras that commonly have appeared on DVDs.

It’s described as “DVD meets Wikipedia meets Reddit, contained inside a single video player interface.” “We built a platform that we wanted to use and felt was missing from the market,” said Fablemaze co-founder Matt Cook who is also the company’s Head of Technology. “The annotation tools on our platform add a user-friendly deep-dive video browsing experience to watching and publishing films.

Sci-Fi-London could not be a better partner for our first public test – we’re thrilled and honored to be hosting the world-class shorts in the festival.” Sci-Fi-London director Louis Savy added, “We are really excited to debut this technology with our short film program.
