Interesting idea for a screening. there is a similar
project in the works here in pittsburgh. here's the
infor for that project titled "Public Domain Private
Dominion" organized by Ben Her
17 local filmamakers in Pittsburgh were given a dvd of
some public domain footage (One Got Fat and two reels
of the 1939 Mediscus World Fair). They then had two
weeks to make their own film. It had to be less than 7
minutes, but more than 2. It couldn't have any visuals
that didn't stem from the source footage. Audio could
be anything they wanted as long as it wasn't someone
else's intellectual property. That's it.
Sunday June 11th.
Pittsburgh Filmmakers Melwood Screening Room.
3$students/4$ everyone else.
Free food by Whole Foods and the Quiet Storm. Beer is
hopefully going to be provided as well, but I'm
running out of people to beg.
The Podcast will (cross you fingers) be ready in about
a week. Please check www.ambulantic.libsyn.com for
details. And Much love to Dave Mansueto and Liberated
Syndication for helping us get that together. There's
no content on there, but dammit people, give me time.
I didn't even really know what podcasting was until
like three days ago.
Thanks to our partners: Pittsburgh Filmmakers, i Was A
Camera
And our sponsors : Liberated Syndication, Dreaming
Ant, The Record Village, Whole Foods, The New Yinzer
and The Quiet Storm.
