Title:

There's Gold in Those Archives: Long-Long-Tail Filmmaking

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Patricia Aufderheide, Center for Social Media
Description:
DIY distribution, iTunes aggregators, public TV's American Archive project and online venues such as Reframe open up more possibilities every day—especially for documentarians--to recycle your golden oldies. Learn who's reaping rewards (both monetary and other) with what kinds of business models, and how they're wrangling those rights.
Questions
Answered:
  1. What is long-tail distribution?
  2. Can I make money on my old films?
  3. Why would people make their older work available for free?
  4. What are the current and most lucrative ways to package/market older films?
  5. Is online distribution for older work a good idea?
  6. How do I renegotiate rights to get access to my older work?
  7. Should I work with original distributors to relaunch older work?
  8. Should I be selling my older work in pieces as well as entire?
  9. Will public TV's archival and long-tail plans hurt my control over my own films?
  10. How could current contracts deals help or hinder my long-tail plans?

Important topic, great choice of panelists . . . would love to see Rick Prelinger and Brewster Kahle dialogue with fimmakers and distributors (not to mention Pat Aufderheide) on this subject!

Pitty I can not attend (Amsterdam, Netherlands is a bit far...) Would love to hear this panel adress the possible business models on the "Archive Question". Good idea, though!

Feels like a very relevant topic, and Pat Aufderheide is one of THE authorities on fair use. Would love to go to this.

We need to meet the challage of the changing marketplace and creating a sustainalble income stream for future work. Right on.

Another possible person for this panel is Paula LeDieu, the brilliant (and funny) digital strategist who's been at the BBC and now is Director of Digital at the British Film Institute.
Shaping Youth
on 29/8/09
Fair use is a huge issue for educators and nonprofits like Shaping Youth, and we use Animoto constantly with kids to engage them with their own 'film trailers' so I LOVE the idea of expanding knowledge & energizing kids w/archival mashups...

Exellent idea, it is what we need to discuss in Europe as well, I'll do my best to be there.
