The voyage of Open Source Cinema / Basement Tapes (or Pirate Movie?) is nearing the end of its first stage - the movie is almost done! We've incorporated remixes, original videoblogs, music and photos drawn from this site (and the culture that surrounds us). But there is a final step we need open source cinema to take - the end of the movie!

In rip!, we created a sequence in Times Square that presented Times Square as the ultimate example of privately owned consumer culture. We're looking for a response in RIP the extended version. We've got all the source files for you to remix times square.
Here's the end of the film, with Times Square inserted. This is where we're looking for remix!

So we're here at IDFA - The International Documentary Festival of Amsterdam. It's a huge thrill, since this is the biggest annual meeting of the documentary community, and probably the most important place to show your doc - great audiences, great debates, great city. We've been looking forward to this for a long time!

Much of the remix work that appears in RiP: A remix manifesto was done simply by watching footage uploaded to the site, downloading it, remixing, and uploading back. A simple call and response process that led to amazing results.
To take part, simply find footage in the uploads section, and download it to your computer. Each piece of footage is a "node" with a link to download the media.
When you have done editing, submit footage back in the submit content section.

Six years of work is wrapping up tonight at the Festival Nouveau Cinema - we're launching the film out into the world! After almost a year in the edit suite, we've printed it to tape and are ready to show the "beta" version - the plan is to take it to whatever film festivals will have us, and continue the remixing before we officially launch the 1.0 version of the film. This explains the lack of download - we beseech your patience!!! Off for a final meal, a stiff drink and time to start the conversation.
PS - the blogging starts again!

"Using celebrated mash-up artist and party animal Girl Talk as both exemplar and guide through the labyrinths of copyright and “copyfight,” Gaylor uses concert footage, animation, multimedia collages and interviews with outspoken thinkers like Boing Boing’s Cory Doctorow and lawyer Lawrence Lessig to illuminate both the nuances of the debate over copyright law and how it impacts art, science and life in the 21st century and beyond."

"Filmmaker Brett Gaylor really captures the importance of open culture and the stakes of the conflict. He goes big, speaking to the ideas and ideals at the centre of the movement, and if this clip is any indication- Gaylor nails it."
