RiP: Remix Manifesto - Kino - DVD
Description
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's central protagonist is Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping
the charts with his sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk a paragon of people
power or the Pied Piper of piracy? Creative Commons founder, Lawrence Lessig, Brazil's
Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also
along for the ride.
A participatory media experiment, from day one, Brett shares his raw
footage at opensourcecinema.org, for anyone to remix. This movie-as-mash-up
method allows these remixes to become an integral part of the film. With RiP:
A Remix Manifesto, Gaylor and Girl Talk sound an urgent alarm and
draw the lines of battle.
Which side of the ideas war are you on?
