As we've explained, that's the wrong question....The real question is how will movies make money -- and that's easy enough to answer. As plenty of folks have been pointing out for years, the movie business isn't selling movies, but selling seats to an experience. Put on a good moviegoing experience and the money will still come in. news - news Thu, 03 Jul 2008 05:46:16 +0100 http://plugincinema.com/plugin/content/view/1824/40/ From an interesting email we recieved:CINEMA TOUS ECRANS, in Geneva, Switzerland opens a new multimedia section: REGISTER YOUR FILM NOW !Cinéma tous Ecrans opens a new multimedia section, which will be partly competitive, comprising the following categories:Multimedia Interactive Fiction: fiction and interactivity;Series for the Web: serial audiovisual works with possible extensions for other screens;Auto-produced Drama for the Web: the best of drama produced on the web;Cinéma Tout Mobile: international competition for short films up to 2 min for mobile phones.The works and entry forms can be submitted until 30 August 2008.

It shows how artists develop their work and theories on the cinematic experience‭, ‬using different technologies and materials‭, ‬and offers a many-sided‭ ‬theoretical journey into the history, present and future of the magic we call cinema. But then we would say it is interesting as we're in it ;) news - news Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:45:03 +0100 http://plugincinema.com/plugin/content/view/1821/40/ Bristol is going to play host to a new film festival that sounds really exciting - focusing on independent filmmaking and with three local film exhibition and network outfits – Cineformation (http://www.cineformation.com/), Bluescreen (http://microplex.cubecinema.com/cubewebsite/bluescreen.html) and the Misfit Collective (http://www.watershed.co.uk/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Watershed.woa/wa/exhibit?daysToDisplay=2 typesToDisplay=0 object=1539) - behind it, it should be great. They have issued a call for entries; On the weekend of 14/15th June, the Bristol Filmmakers Festival 2008 comes to the Watershed and the Arnolfini, an event which gathers together and celebrates the independent film community in the city....The weekend will feature a host of special screenings and provide the chance for independent filmmakers to meet, swap ideas and knowledge. More information will be released closer to the event, but we are currently calling out to independent filmmakers in the city to send in their films so that we can select the strongest programme to screen. The criteria is that the films must be submitted on DVD along with the submission form that can be obtained by emailing bfmf2008@yahoo.com - also the address to direct any questions. The deadline is Monday 26th May, and films should be sent to BFMF2008, C/o The Misfit Rising, 82 Colston St, Bristol BS1 5BB.We are also inviting filmmakers to submit material to the Sweded Classics section of the Festival. Following on from Michel Gondry’s feature film Be Kind Rewind (http://www.bekindmovie.com/) , we are looking for ‘sweded’ films, where a classic popular feature film – or extract – is refilmed with DIY inspiration and resources (and at much shorter length). Can you swede the whole of Terminator in 6 minutes? There is a later deadline for Sweded Classics: Saturday 7th June at the above address.There is also a website with more details and the entry form; www.bristolfilm.co.uk (http://www.bristolfilm.co.uk/) news - news Wed, 28 May 2008 08:51:14 +0100 http://plugincinema.com/plugin/content/view/1820/27/ Internet media has changed dramatically since the plugincinema site first became established - back in 1999. Since then there have been many advances in the way that media content is delivered to us; P2P (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer) and YouTube (http://www.youtube.com) just to mention a few... At plugincinema we decided it was time to change the site design, the old was looking a bit flat and 'web 1.0' so we have re-disigned the site and set up a much better back-end system to allow for the archiving of news etc. However, we also wanted to preserve the cinema section of the old site as it was, since it is part of the development of web film and as such is of historical interest. So, you have the choice, either access the media via our new site (content/blogcategory/39/52/) using (which uses blip.tv (http://blip.tv/) ) or visit our old site (http://www.fugazi.net/plugin.old/plugin_cinema/index.htm) which remains in glorious real media, quicktime and a variety of other players and codecs...the coice is yours!
