Open source film awaits your remix
A Melbourne-based director Ryan Alexander Lloyd has released the raw footage of his upcoming film onto the internet for free.
An experiment in open sourcing and distribution, the footage is available for other filmmakers to download, remix and sample to create their own films.
Under the banner Stray Cinema, the experiment first began in 2006 by founder Michell Joy Hughes, with footage captured in London and Paris in the past.
The move is also to promote the original edit of Lloyd’s film Beginning, Middle and End, due for release on DVD and cinema release later next year.
Hughes said in a press release, “Traditionally films are created by a tight network working towards a singular vision, and the footage is only released when its owners can control how it is interpreted. We want to allow more people – different people – to tell their stories with this footage.”
