Arts Law Week 2007: Open Channel Video Slam

CCau

17 May 2007

The Creative Commons Australia and the Open Channel Screen Resource Centre present the Open Channel Video Slam, a collaborative film project CCau took part in over last weekend (May 13-14).

The idea was to produce one 10 minute film, made entirely out of CC and original content, by locking 22 filmmakers in a bar for 33 hours a whole lot of equipment, wireless internet access, and coffee, alcohol and pizza.

The event was organised by Andrew Garton of the Open Channel Screen Resource Centre, a government funded film production and training centre, and was hosted by Horse Bazaar, a digital-arts bar in the heart of Melbourne that hosts the Digital Fringe Festival each year.

The effort resulted in a 10 minute film that incorporates 110 CC-licensed works � photos, video, sound, music. This final product was screened in Horse Bazaar and on the big screen in Melbourne�s cultural hub, Federation Square, at 7pm Monday 14 May. It�s also available for download under a BY-NC-SA licence at openchannel.org.au/blogs/videoslam.

VIDEO SLAM is an OPEN CHANNEL production workshop and was produced for Arts Law Week 2007 in association with �Horse Bazaar�, the Creative Commons Clinic (Brisbane), Federation Square, EngageMedia and the Victorian Arts Law Consortium.

VIDEO SLAM is an exercise in cross-discipline collaboration focused on the use of flexible licenses for the creation of new works that are shared within the public domain under the same licenses from which content was sourced from.
