YAHOO RESEARCH BERKELEY ROLLS
out it's newest 'you media' tech --The International Remixer" at the SF Intl Film festival(SFIFF) Too discover the fun of the new system go to www.sffs.org. Even though the festival's over and the winners have been announced in the remix event, 
you can still mash-up the festival films with accompanying music provided by the site.
A citizen media project encouraged would-be filmmakers to use the Yahoo International Remixer to mash-up, slice & dice and score their own mini-films which are not only being shown on the site after the festival but were actually screened during the festival at a special event and awards were handed out for these mix-ups.
Kinotek --SF Intl Film Festival New Media
According to the SF CHRONICLE, features new to the SF Intl. festival this year included what the festival organizers are calling "KinoTek" --experiments with electronic video and real-time digital images, KinoTek was interpreted at the festival with five programs represented by Addictive TV, Cock Byte, Masters of Machinima, Pocket Cinema and of course Internatonal Remix. In the CHRONICLE report, Grehan Leggat, San Francisco Film Society's executive director says "Just the thought that you can be on a bus today watching a film on your cell phone or other small device and the person next to you can see it over your shoulder -- that's pretty wild" . Leggat considers it the responsibility of the festival to explore those new technologies. In the SAN JOSE MERCURY coverage Leggat underscores his interest in new media and delivery systems by saying, " ``No longer can we think of movie-going and the social environment that goes with that as just one thing.''
