Remix This!

A new and ever-evolving documnetary explores the remix culture.

RiP: A Remix Manifesto is a fairly illegal documentary about copyright and remix culture whose filmmaker is and isn’t, Brett Gaylor. Essentially, hundreds upon hundreds of copyrighted sound and picture bits have been mashed up to support and sometimes indulge the fancies of Gaylor’s thesis: Remix culture should be embraced, not restricted.

As an open source film, it has undergone (and continues to undergo) more than just revisions, but remixes of itself. These mashups are made possible and encouraged by Gaylor’s posting of the source files online. The film was first dropped in Montreal at the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma last October. Since then, I was lucky enough to snag a seat at the sneak preview (although it was a slightly different version than the official one to be released) in Vancouver this past Sunday, which ended in a half hour discussion with the filmmaker. For Torontonians, RiP will be gracing Royal Cinema on March 13th. Read more…
