With a number of crowdfunding campaigns by cinemas and film festivals popping up on the interweb in the last few weeks, we thought it was high time the ICO blog took a look at crowdfunding in more detail. In this first post, we explain the basic principles of crowdfunding...
The ICO team recently returned from sunny Croatia, where we were working hard (honest!) running our Developing Your Film Festival course.
Last week I went to Mobile Culture 2, organised by CultureLabel and Camerjam. The conference brought together cultural organisations with digital pioneers and other industries to catch up on the latest trends and future thinking of engaging audiences via mobile.
My very first time in Cannes and to say I'm a little excited to be here is a big understatement. I'm very lucky to have my colleague Becky as my guide, she's full of beans for the festival, has glorious skills and know-how when it comes to planning a full day of films - plus it's a joy to have a companion for the long queues and umbrella-holding duty!
After a mad dash to Gatwick with the Victoria line suspended, my colleague Sarah and I finally made it to Cannes.
My second day begins well with a walk up the red carpet for a distinctly non-glamorous morning screening, but at least I can report back to my mum on the filthy state of that carpet to see Thomas Vinterberg's The Hunt.
Bonjour Cannes! A bit of a false start for my first day, but hey, that's Cannes.
I didn't manage as much sleep as I'd hoped, due to neighbours in my guesthouse inexplicably pounding up and down the creaky floors from 5am to 7am.
It turns out that I wouldn't have been able to get into the ceilidh last night anyway, as no one was leaving since the knees up was being led by none other than Sean Connery. Sounds rubbish.
The morning starts off bright and early with Obselidia, a romance (of sorts) between a librarian, who's obsessed with the past who is compiling an Encyclopedia of Obsolete Things, and one of his interviewees, a projectionist at the local LA silent movie theatre.
