STATEMENT FROM THE PRODUCERS

The mission of the Slamdance, WorkBook Project and Open Video Alliance Filmmaker Summit is to jointly craft a new charter for filmmaking, storytelling and content distribution, with and by the global filmmaking community.Our collaboration is born out of reaction to an independent film industry currently in a state of change and how, as a global filmmaking community, we can better understand and find greater success afforded by new technology and the democratization of new tools and processes.

We believe sustainable independent filmmaking is no longer about the production itself. Instead, it’s about how filmmakers must now expand their role and take charge of reaching and engaging worldwide audiences across all viewing platforms. In this direct approach, the viewer is now collaborative, less passive and more connected then every before. New business models will emerge as a direct result of experimentation and transparency around process, the Filmmaker Summit is an attempt to chart a course towards sustainability one that is by filmmakers for filmmakers while at the same time being inclusive of the audiences that support them.

We are inviting the DIY filmmaking-loving public to pick topics to discuss through an online voting up process. These topics will then be thoroughly examined by speakers Steven Soderbergh, Brian Newman, Christy Dena, Jamie King, Timo Vuorensola, Khavn de la Cruz, Lance Weiler, Peter Baxter and Jon Reiss in a one day summit – on site in Park City (and, of course, online).

Cuatro Cineastas Caminan en la Revolucion Cubana, 1964-2006

A FILMMAKER WALKS INTO A REVOLUTION…
CUBAN FILM & THE REVOLUTION
CASA DEL TUNEL, 2009

Curatorial statement:

In turn a time of turmoil, trauma, joy and great upheaval for the country’s inhabitants, it can however be affirmed that the revolution had one brilliant effect: Ushering in what is known as the golden era of Cuban cinema. The effects of great change on art cannot be understated, and in Cuba – no exception to that rule – it provided a rich and complex subject to observe, interpret and chronicle. This film program aims to elucidate the opinions and conclusions drawn around this cataclysmic event through the unique cinematic eye of some of the country’s greatest storytellers: Its filmmakers.

Do you think that if 1000 people send their love and support all at once from Los Angeles, that Laura and Euna will hear them? I think so….

Come join us for an evening of friends, family and community as we unite for the common goal of bringing Laura and Euna home safely. Laura Ling and Euna Lee are currently being detained in North Korea. Their trial is set to begin on June 4th.
