Thanks to Jeremy for the heads up!

Time: 7:30pm – 9:30pm

To help Launch the Australian Centre for Democracy and Justice launch its latest campaign: En Masse, we are screening the exciting new documentary on remix culture: RiP: A remix manifesto.

In RiP: A remix manifesto, Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers. The film features mash-up musician Girl Talk, Creative Commons founder Lawrence Lessig, Brazil’s Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow.

SHOOT-N-SHARE

A documentary about contemporary production, interpretation and perception of mobile images. From the perspective of various protagonists the possibilities and meaning of everyday imagination in contemporary culture is shown. The viewer is both taking a peek at the personal experience of the phenomenon and experiencing an overload of mobile material from the protagonists and other YouTube-ers.

This documentary was made as a  graduation project for the Masterstudies Media & Journalism and Sociology of Arts & Culture at the Erasmus University Rotterdam by Lieke van Pruijssen & Bieke Versloot
