» Cultural democracy or mediocrity? PressPausePlay Full Movie Online

In February I posted this:

"PressPausePlay, a film about fear, hope and digital culture". The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunities. But does democratized culture mean better art, film, music and literature or is true talent instead flooded and drowned in the vast digital ocean of mass culture? Is it cultural democracy or mediocrity? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with influential creators of the digital era. To name a few interviewees, Ted Schilowitz, founder, Red Digital Cinema Camera Company, Sean Parker, co-founder of Napster, Scott Belsky, CEO & founder, Behance. The film was shot globally between August 2009 – January 2011, covering more than 150 hours of interview footage with international creatives and thinkers - representing the state of digitized culture today.

Now it's out, you can download it from their website, full HD.

» Sound of Noise, animated segment

Animated segment for the award winning feature film "Sound of Noise", directed by Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjärne Nilsson. This piece was animated by Kristofer Ström and Martin Ottosson. This Swedish musical comedy portrays musicians as the ultimate outlaws, it's light on story but heavy on ingenuity. Despite its constant slapstick demeanor, it offers a fairly reasonable snapshot of the punkish anger that often drives experimental music. Very funny and fresh movie.
