Excerpt from original post:

"...the TFI set out to create the new fund as a way of both funding new, interactive storytelling projects, and to produce and distribute them as a branded series of work "that will reach the audiences where they will have the most impact," Janson said.

The organization will accept submissions for the fund from April 4 through May 25. Grants will range from $50,000 to $100,000, though Janson said that TFI may be able to assist grantees with additional resources to ensure that they are able to complete and sustain their projects.

Janson said that there are no existing models for the kinds of projects the TFI is looking to fund. Ideally, she said, projects will have three "core elements": they will feature strong stories; they will be designed to bring in and welcome new audiences; and they will have the kind of impact that can "make real change in the human world...."

"...Last year, Tribeca tested the digital waters by offering access to some of its films via digital platforms including the web and video on demand. For a set fee, users could get an all-access pass to various Tribeca features and shorts. Tribeca’s chief creative officer, Geoffrey Gilmore, tells us that the initiative didn’t go far enough. To really help rethink and redefine what an online film festival is required a different approach.

Rather than offering an “online pass,” users will be able to reserve free tickets for any of the six feature films that will be offered online via the new Tribeca (Online) Streaming Room. Films will have three to five screening windows and the number of “seats” per window will be limited — just like at the regular festival. Users can reserve a seat virtually at TribecaOnline.com. American Express card members can start reserving seats on April 12 and the general public will get access on April 18.

Each window lasts 24 hours, meaning the user has the freedom to tune in to the film at the time that best suits their needs. Films can be viewed in a web browser or on the iPhone or iPad. Tribeca is using HTTP adaptive streaming, which means that the better quality the connection, the better the stream will look on an iPhone or iPad...."

Excerpt from the Tribeca Film Institute site:

by Ingrid Kopp @fromthehip

"This is the fourth and final post in a series of guest posts from Ingrid Kopp, the U.S. Director of Shooting People. Ingrid, who leads workshops on film, social media, engagement, and technology as part of her work at Shooting People, discusses how the latest trends in technology are changing and shaping the filmmaking process. Follow Ingrid’s latest Tweets at @fromthehip.

There is a tendency to become rather extremist when it comes to all things digital. Either the web is going to change the world with universal digital access, social media and new platforms and transform us all into creative producers tapping into a global “cognitive surplus” OR it is going to turn us all into stupid, attention-lacking, piracy-practicing drones who revel in LOLCats and expect to get everything for free. The truth is probably somewhere in between. Cory Doctorow says it best, I think: “Technology giveth and technology taketh away.” Whatever your position on digital technology, the genie is out of the bottle and it’s not going to go back in (although it may be at risk of being squeezed in various ways by corporations but that’s a subject for another post) so it seems to me that the important thing right now is to make sure that we are creating the kind of digital future we all want...."
