"...ideally these would be short documentary films but we will
consider appropriate films from other genres."
I've come across this sort of thing before. It doesn't sound like
it's for thematic reasons. I wonder what the assumed affinity is
between the documentary form and open source media?

Hello Folly
I'm a filmmaker who makes open source films for Access Space
Digitial Media in Sheffield.
Access Space Sheffield (UK) is an open source digital media lab,
urgently looking for Open Source films to be shown at a free fringe
event as a part of Sheffield Doc/Fest (8th-12th June). On Friday
9th June, Access Space is putting on an afternoon of Open Source
films where we want to showcase the range of filmakers from around
the world who are working within an open source ethos or using any
Open Source software such as Cinelerra or Kino or even animation
software such as Blender.
We would like to see films of around 5 to 15 minutes in length and
ideally these would be short documentary films but we will consider
appropriate films from other genres. We would like filmmakers to
send 50-200 words background about themselves, the film and their
use of Open Source as we would like to be able to present the films
and give the audience a bit of info at the viewing. Filmmakers
would also be more than welcome to attend if they wish and give a
short presentation to their films.
As the 9th of June is next week (!) we obviously would like to see
films ASAP. Please could applicants forward online links (e.g.
vimeo/youtube/dropbox) to this email address.
Please forward this on to any open source video mailing lists or
filmmakers you know.
Kind regards
