“The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunites. 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 some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era.”

PressPausePlay is available online now. Looking forward to watching the full thing. Get it here. Thanks to Better taste than sorry for the link.

In 1945 the Nazis fled to the moon. In 2018 they are coming back – this is the plot of one of the most exciting movie productions right at the moment, ‘Iron Sky’. The Finnish feature-length comedy science fiction film, directed by Timo Vuorensola and produced by Samuli Torssonen, will be in cincemas in 2011. And it is far more than just an ordinary movie production.

‘Under the Iron Sky’ is one of the most promising new movies of participatory cinema – projects in which producers have invited everyone interested in joining in with their ideas and creativity. Cinema enthusiasts can also attach media to their shots.

‘Iron Sky’ is not the first collaborative movie. Its predecessor ‘Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning‘ was one of the most successful Finnish movies ever (with a Creative Commons License). Currently at least three more major collaborative movies are being produced (e.g. ‘A Swarm of Angels‘). And these productions have grown to a serious size by now. With a well known international cast (Udo Kier plays the evil German again) and major, professional shoots. If you are as interested in the project as I am, subscribe to the team’s blog, Facebook page or follow them on twitter.
