A lot of college campuses have facilities for screening movies. A Free Culture club could easily rent out the space for such an event. In that case, you might not charge admission, but you could still sell copies of the film and collect donations. At UF, we've shown public domain and CC-licensed films before (e.g. ''Night of the Living Dead'') but didn't have any interactive element. Aside from Free Culture chapters, this also sounds like a promising idea for art cinemas. One somewhat similar idea I've had for art galleries is to have an "open gallery": anybody can walk in and contribute add a work, or modify works in the gallery. The iCommons Summit this year had a participant-editable chalkboard in the gallery, but the rest of the gallery was moderated. I'd be very interesting to see what was built (or destroyed) in such a space. I recently heard of a gallery in DC that does an event where anyone can buy gallery space to display whatever they want, (sort of like 'sponsor a brick'), but I don't think it has any remix feature. - -- Gavin Baker http://freeculture.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Crosbie Fitch wrote: > How about creating community run free culture cinemas? > > Where only free movies are shown, though a regular admission fee is > still charged and a proportion forwarded to the movie maker. > > DVDs of the movie are available on sale at the ticket office (a la Red Hat). > > A wireless access point is also available for people to copy sections of > the movie onto their laptops, etc. > > The focus is on making the cinema experience enjoyable and enabling the > audience to easily sponsor movie makers. > > There is no specific rule against cameras, only against anything that > distracts other members of the audience. > > Members of the audience are encouraged to incorporate anything they see > at the cinema into their own productions - which they are encouraged to > publish online too. > > If a licence is necessary, probably CC-SA. > > Are there any independent cinemas that would even have a 'free culture > night'? > > I believe some cinemas offer private screenings - perhaps they'd dare > tolerate a private screening of a copyleft movie? > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG5IMQtLXQdLhFpekRAjxaAJ9V6R6Wj+L5UiAaGJNoaBmlY1+i4wCfTqAe oIc9YIeHqCvWC4Tr8bB+TZY= =W2qm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
