RIP: A Remix Manifesto Wednesday, June 24th 7:30pm FREE! RIP was of our favorite docs from SxSw 09. We are pleased to bring you a FREE screening of the film on Wednesday, June 24th. The screening will feature a pre-show performance by Austin's very own mashup artist Car Stereo (Wars) who is performing at this years Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL. In RiP: A Remix Manifesto, Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers. The films central protagonist is Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping the charts with his sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk a paragon of people power or the Pied Piper of piracy? Creative Commons founder, Lawrence Lessig, Brazils Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also along for the ride. A participatory media experiment, from day one, Brett shares his raw footage at opensourcecinema.org, for anyone to remix. This movie-as-mash-up method allows these remixes to become an integral part of the film. With RiP: A remix manifesto, Gaylor and Girl Talk sound an urgent alarm and draw the lines of battle. Which side of the ideas war are you on? *Reserve your seat with a $5 food voucher via www.drafthouse.com.
