Shared Film Festival
On both days of the Open Video Conference, the discussion around shared culture and peer-to-peer distribution will continue into the evening with the Shared Films Festival.
The Shared Film Festival is a showcase for the emerging world of free-to-share films. We’re teaming with our friends at BitTorrent, hand-picking notable films from creators who are experimenting with alternative business models and distribution methods.
Each night following OVC, we’ll screen a short film, a feature length production, and then sit down to a discussion with the filmmakers, learning about the stories behind the films, their production experiences and business strategies. Can you make a living by giving it away?
The Shared Film Festival is for both creators and audiences, and it’s free to all attendees of the Open Video Conference. It’s also open to the public—invite your friends!
