Hello everyone, for many years I have the idea to make a documentary film about all the wireless community projects in the world.
I think that no other media but film can transport the fact that people arround the globe in various regions have set up their own community wireless networks, because the freedom and ability of communication is a human need and whish everywhere. And Wi-Fi has made it possible to come a little bit closer to that vision, cause it enabled people to go for it themselves in a DIY way. Even though the technology is more or less the same in all places, all the local projects have their own social and technical set-ups. That's what makes it so colorful and interesting, too. Before we will find a person, who is a good film maker, willing to travel the world and visit and interview all the various projects arround the globe, we could start to collect all the exisitng material. This could also make it a bit easier to apply for funding, if someone would be willing to travel the world and make that film. So could you please send me links to all existing video material of your wireless community projects out there. Please also forward this message to projects which might not yet be members of this list. If you have tapes, and/or no digital version online yet, then I am sure we could find a way to gather these films anyway. Thank you very much in advance!
