The film’s main character is Nina Paley, an American animator who produced a feature film called Sita Sings the Blues (which we screened last September). Nina encountered many copyright issues with the songs she used, from 1920s´ singer Annette Hanshaw. These experiences made her realize that she didn’t want the same thing to happen to her film. She finally used a Creative Commons Share Alike license in order to free her work and present it to the world.

We are very excited that Marine Lormant Sebag has signed up to volunteer with UnionDocs to put together some videos using our archives of post-screening discussions with directors.

Tilden Massacre http://www.uniondocs.org/ft-tilden-massacre/ http://www.uniondocs.org/ft-tilden-massacre/#comments Mon, 15 Mar 2010 04:34:33 +0000 Rahul Chadha http://www.uniondocs.org/?p=5424 An exercise/experiment in collaborative filmmaking and soundgathering I conducted with my UnionDocs collabo compatriots William Martin and Andre Valentim Almeida. Video and audio by Will, Andre and I. Poem by Willie Wills. Cut by me. The idea was to pool all of the video/audio that was recorded, share it, and let each person come up with their own cut of the material.

Will’s poem got me to thinking about the nature of memory, and how when we are trying to recall something, we are in an almost thought-less mode of being as we try to access information buried somewhere in our grey matter.
