If any of the follow words interest you: film, digital, convergence and candy ... they you should make your way to the “Deliver Us” forum on new digital systems for media delivery and circulation. It will feature “leading lights” of the industry and place the technological pioneering

of Wavelength Releasing in a larger context.

The copy goes on to say: “While world-wide radio and TV giants are emerging on-line, smaller net channels such as proteinTV deliver off-centre work through downloadable Realvideo. Streaming video offers a rapidly improving new channel for delivering work rendered invisible by closed commercial circuits. The explosion of new digital TV channels appears to offer great new opportunities through increased

air-time, but will artists just be treated as cheap or free content - if they manage to get their work shown at all between re-runs and gameshows? Can this highly volatile technological ferment coalesce for long enough to produce stable distribution systems? And what are the real implications for independent filmmakers and artists? To discuss the issues, the team behind The Last Broadcast are joined by Nick James (editor Sight & Sound), William Rowe (proteinTV) and David Sinden (Artec).” Who would we be to argue with that?

The forum starts at 7pm on Sunday 23rd May in The Lux Centre, Hoxton “Trendy” Square, London. The Last Broadcast, the film to which the panel is attached, will also be screening at 9pm on 22nd and 23rd May. Tickets and stuff and be purchased or blagged from the box office ... info below.
