DIRECTORS - Are you looking for new opportunities to distribute your films? Or worried about how your programmes are going to be used in the future? Do you know about all the new distribution platforms?” To find out about the latest innovations in digital delivery systems, put this date in your diary!
The aim of the New Media Event is to inform and educate our members and other invited guests, to learn about the new emerging distribution platforms for film and video.
Each speaker will present for 10 minutes and the audience will then have the opportunity to ask the panel questions.
The subjects to be discussed include:-
- "Video on the Move" - delivering video content to mobile phones, iPod users and Zune.
- Blu-Ray & High Definition DVD: this market is tipped to take over where standard DVDs left off.
- User Generated Content websites. These include YouTube, MySpace, SelfCast TV, FourDocs and Flux. This is a huge growth area where ordinary people upload their videos to be viewed by a global audience.
- Convergence between traditional TV viewing and the computer. eg. BT Vision has launched an interactive on-demand service with content from MTV, Paramount and Nickleodeon.
- Digital distribution of films to movie theatres. The new technology will enable distributors to reduce their print and logistical costs.
- Interactive gaming and TV shows, as the crossover with the internet gathers pace.
