Gala Film is about to emerge as a revolutionary platform in the world of entertainment with its April 14th launch. We’re on a mission to completely transform the way films are enjoyed, deepening the experience and getting everyone involved in the storytelling.
At the heart of this transformation lies the concept of Moments, gamified collectibles that seamlessly blend entertainment with ownership, rewards, and an irresistible urge to share.
Moments: Capturing the Magic of Cinema
Imagine owning a piece of your favorite film, a tangible representation of a pivotal moment that resonated with you. This is the essence of Moments, NFT collectibles that represent literal moments from films or series available on the Gala Film platform. Each Moment is uniquely identified, representing a specific frame from an episode or feature imbued with the emotional significance of that moment.
Moments are the Gala Film user’s primary way of collecting NFTs that are eligible for $FILM rewards, directly supporting their favorite projects in the process.
Scenes: Curating Cinematic Narratives
Gala Film users can also collect curated sets of Moments to form Scenes, embodying pivotal sequences from feature films or episodes. Scenes provide the broader narrative context of NFT Moments, offering additional rewards to collectors who complete Scenes.
Scenes cannot be purchased on their own, but only assembled through the collection of the Moments contained within that Scene. Bonus reward multipliers will await those who manage to collect entire Scenes, and even greater multipliers are in store for those who collect all the Scenes available for a specific title. Collecting all the Scenes in a title will be a monumental feat in the Gala Film ecosystem.
Ownership and Rewards
The ownership of Moment NFTs goes beyond mere collection; it unlocks a world of rewards and opportunities. Users will receive $FILM rewards by collecting Moments, directly participating in the ecosystem’s growth and sharing in its success. The more platform views for a specific piece of content, the larger share of the $FILM reward pool that goes to owners of Moments from that content.

Unboxing the Mysteries of Film
Throughout the web3 world, the container that holds NFTs is often exciting for users on a level that parallels the excitement of the NFT itself. Users enjoy the thrill of collecting a digital container with untold potential, the contents of which cannot be known until it is opened. Embracing this mysterious spirit, we have made Mystery Boxes a core piece of the Gala Film economy.
Some Gala Film Mystery Boxes (Starter Boxes and Common Boxes) can be procured through interaction with the platform, and others (Premiere Boxes) may be purchased directly from the store using various currencies accepted by Gala Film.Users will also eventually have the option to trade on the secondary market to directly find the Shards they need.
Gamified Engagement: A World of Possibilities
Moments, along with the Moment Packs in which they’re found, introduce a new element of gamification to the film experience, transforming passive viewing into an engaging activity with the potential to become very rewarding. Users can embark on quests to collect complete Scenes or compete with friends to amass the most valuable collections, becoming active participants in the cinematic universe.
The Gala Film “game” is 100% free to play, but to unlock its deepest levels, users will have to work hard on their NFT collections and spend time engaging with the platform.
Sharing: Unleashing the Power of Word-of-Mouth
The gamified nature of Moments and Mystery Boxes extends beyond the Gala Film platform, seamlessly integrating with social media for an unparalleled sharing experience. Users will enjoy the ability to easily share their Moments on their favorite social media channels, showcasing their collections, gathering rewards, and introducing the Gala Film platform to a wider audience.
This viral sharing mechanism not only amplifies the platform’s reach but also transforms users into active participants in the platform’s decentralized success, spreading the word about Gala Film and attracting new users. The social media buzz generated by Moments and Scenes creates a snowball effect, propelling Gala Film to the forefront of the decentralized entertainment revolution.
Redefining Film Engagement: A Deeper, More Rewarding Experience
Gala Film is creating a paradigm shift in film engagement, moving away from passive consumption towards an immersive, gamified, and socially shareable experience. It empowers users to not only enjoy films but also own a piece of them, participate in their success, contribute to the evolution of filmmaking, and share their passion with the world.
Gala Film is redefining the way we interact with our favorite audio-visual stories, creating a world where entertainment seamlessly blends with ownership, rewards, and a deeper connection to cinema, all while harnessing the power of social media to spread the word and amplify its impact.Gala Film Gala Film Litepaper
Get ready for an exciting leap forward in cinematic experiences with the launch of our much-anticipated film platform on April 14th.
RZR
We’re kicking things off with the Gala Film exclusive world premiere of the sci-fi thriller series, RZR, created by the visionary David Bianchi. At launch, RZR will be the singular title available, showcasing the first two episodes, with subsequent releases following a weekly schedule until all eight episodes have been released. While traditional streaming services are saturated in binge-watching culture, we’re aiming to recapture the magic of anticipation as you wait for each new week’s RZR episode.
A Unique Viewing Reward System
Gala Film is introducing an innovative approach to viewing: For every episode of RZR watched, viewers will be awarded a special RZR Mystery Box. Each box contains shards that viewers can assemble to unlock director cuts, offering extra exclusive content and deepening the RZR experience. This system rewards engagement and provides a tangible connection between our viewers and the content they love.
Powered by GalaChain’s DePIN
The cutting-edge technology of GalaChain is crucial to the Gala Film ecosystem’s operation. GalaChain’s Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) leverages idle GPU and CPU power across the globe to deliver high-quality cinema through a decentralized content delivery network. The DePIN ensures a smooth, scalable, and secure viewing experience even as the amount of content on the platform multiplies, democratizing access to cinematic content like never before.
By hosting the video content that is distributed to viewers, Theater Node operators contribute significantly to the platform’s performance and resilience. In return, these operators will receive rewards in $FILM, the official token of Gala Film’s decentralized ecosystem. This model fosters a community-driven approach, where everyone has the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the ecosystem’s success.
More Titles on the Horizon
Gala Film is committed to expanding its library with more films and series in the coming months. Our platform is designed to empower creators and audiences alike to create a vibrant community where innovative storytelling thrives. From blockbusters to indie gems, Gala Film is a beacon for diverse and compelling cinematic experiences.
Join us on April 14th for the world premiere of RZR, blending the art of storytelling with the power of blockchain tech. Witness the future of cinema unfold, where every view counts, and every viewer is rewarded.
The review praises the gritty sci-fi feel of the episode, remarking “This is the first time since 2019, the year Blade Runner was set, that I feel like the Los Angeles location rises to the cyberpunk nightscape we were expecting.”
We appreciate Michael at Film Threat taking the time to review the pilot of RZR!
In the realm of decentralized entertainment, Gala Film emerges as a revolutionary platform, empowering filmmakers and rewarding film enthusiasts with a unique tokenized ecosystem. At the heart of this ecosystem lies $FILM, the platform’s utility and reward token.
$FILM has not yet been created on GalaChain, but details of the current token rollout plan can be found in the Gala Film Litepaper, as well as briefly outlined in this blog.
What is POPCORN!?
For their early support of the Gala Film ecosystem, Screen Node operators have received rewards in the form of POPCORN! Buckets. These special units of POPCORN are essentially mint allowances for the creation of $FILM after that token is initially allocated.
Initial Conversion of POPCORN! to $FILM
With the current plans for $FILM’s initial token creation event, holders of POPCORN! Buckets will receive $FILM at a ratio of 10 $FILM to 1 POPCORN!, with additional $FILM bonuses determined by the size of your POPCORN! Buckets.
Ongoing Conversion of POPCORN! to $FILM
Following the initial $FILM token creation, POPCORN! will still be issued as the initial reward for Screen Node operators and anyone else who has earned $FILM rewards through various platform interactions. This will act as a mint allowance that users can mint (converting into $FILM) when they choose, taking advantage of POPCORN! bonuses by minting larger amounts of $FILM at a time.
What is $FILM?
Now let’s explore the core utility token of Gala Film and its uses throughout the ecosystem.
$FILM is a forthcoming GalaChain minted token that will serve as the primary currency for transactions within the Gala Film ecosystem, enabling users to:
Support Film Projects: Users can contribute their $FILM to their favorite film projects, receiving rewards such as early access, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and more.
Earn Rewards: Active users can earn $FILM through various types of platform interactions, including watching films, engaging with content, and participating in community activities.
Govern the Platform: $FILM holders will also play a crucial role in governing the Gala Film platform, voting on proposals that shape its future direction and pioneering in the democratized future of film.
Utilities for $FILM
Viewers, artists and collectors will earn $FILM rewards, then use them to dig even deeper into the Gala Film ecosystem, enriching the experiences, expanding the stories and bringing the decentralized world of film to life. Here are some of the initial utilities for $FILM:
Backing pitches for new films

Delivering free, high-quality, and enjoyable content in the 21st century is a barrier to some services, but not Gala Film. Everyone will have the ability to enjoy exclusive Gala Film content for free.
Unlock
By giving you a chance to unlock more content, you can look deeper into your favorite stories. We love gamification, and GalaChain allows us to turn life into a playful adventure. Start opening mystery boxes and assembling the Shards you’ll find within to unlock Director Cuts and dive deeper into the stories you love.
What do we mean by looking deeper? Wouldn’t it be awesome to have an exclusive look into what made that villain so evil, or what happened to the ex after the breakup? Maybe you’re hungry for a segue into the next episode or upcoming sequel. Unlocking exclusive content empowers the viewer to take the best seat in the house, experiencing stories from a metaverse perspective. Only on Gala Film can exclusive content unlock more of the story.
Own
The primary way for Gala Film users to own items and generate rewards is through Moments, individual units of scenes extracted from a film or series. Each Moment rewards owners every time that film is watched, and Moments come in a variety of rarities. In the same way that shards combine to form Director Cuts, Moments combine to form Scenes.
A Scene is a completed collection of Moments, and when full Scenes are created your daily rewards will increase. More information about rewards can be found in the Litepaper linked above. Moments are purchased in Moment Packs through the Gala Film store, or found within Premium Mystery Boxes.
Host
Screen Nodes are the foundation of Gala Film and what makes us unique and innovative – hosting every film, episode, director cut, trailer & more. Anyone can purchase a license to operate a Screen Node. By running your licensed Screen Node, you can power the ecosystem and receive daily $FILM rewards for your contribution!
Something for Everyone
Everyone watches video content, and everyone loves getting more out of the content they enjoy most. Watch your favorite content for free, earn rewards for supporting the ecosystem, and unlock exclusive content that allows you to get deeper into the stories you love.
Web3 is changing everything, and not only for viewers, listeners and gamers. The Gala Film model will encourage film artists of all types to level up into the web3 world. Imagine professionals like cinematographers, directors, actors, costume designers, writers and more, all realizing the potential of web3 for their artistic careers.
By introducing regular users to Gala in this simple way, we can illustrate its benefit when it comes to things they’re already doing, like watching movies, listening to music and playing games. Once they understand its power, every user can decide to empower themselves through ownership and enhance their rewards whenever they are ready!
