iCommons Summit film screenings call for suggestions
The iCommons Summit in Dubrovnik will be intensively involving creators and presenting artworks. Through the hosting of Summit events, such as the Artists in Residence programme, iCommons, and Summit hosts, Mi2, have focused on involving creators, artists and musicians from various backgrounds in the commons discussions at the annual iSummit. In the iSummit schedule (check out the draft programme) we have assigned time around the official conference schedule for creating art or showcasing musical talent, and performances.
Yet another feature of this year’s iCommons Summit will be the film-screening event, to be held on the evening of 14 June. We are looking for films that are either CC-licensed free culture works, or challenge the boundaries of copyright law. Priority will be given to recent releases or works that are yet to be premiered. Due to the limited screening time we have available, we will not be screening films longer than an hour.
We invite you to suggest films or videos that fit the above criteria, and that you would like to see screened at the iSummit. If you’re a filmmaker yourself, feel encouraged to propose your own work. Add your suggestions to the iCommons wiki, here.
Please note that the total screening time is two hours, and we will only be able to screen works in digital formats from a computer or DVD player.
The deadline to add suggestions to the wiki page is Saturday 29 April.
The selection of the films to be screened at the event will take place as a public discussion on our IRC channel (#icommons), on the freenode IRC server (irc.freenode.net) at 16:00 GMT on Saturday 4 May.
