One highlight of our participation will be the five short films we will show at the Rhode Island Film Forum, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 9, in the rooftop ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel. Pretty nice venue!
Our block is called Transmedia Technology: The Future of Storytelling.
Here's what it's all about, from the Festival web site:
How does a media company founded just three years
after the invention of still photography survive for nearly two
centuries –– and remain fresh and vital in the Internet Age? The
Providence Journal, published daily since 1829, has accomplished this by
emphasizing news, public service and story.
And in 2012, that includes storytelling in documentary films posted as videos to its web site, www.providencejournal.com
Join Michael Delaney, Journal Managing Editor for
Visuals, and award-winning staff photographers/videographers Sandor
Bodo, John Freidah, Frieda Squires and Steve Szydlowski as they show
some of the paper’s finest films and discuss their craft from artistic,
news and business points of view.
Journal videos have won several awards, including a
2011 New England Emmy for Freidah’s “Marathon Man,” which will be shown
at the forum. The paper’s first feature-length documentary, “Coming
Home,” about veterans of the War on Terror, was nominated for a 2012 New
England Emmy and won the 2012 Edward R. Murrow Award for best online
documentary, New England Region, from the Radio Television Digital News
Association. Also in 2012, the paper’s “Justice for Jason: Foreman
family strives to change Rhode Island Law” was nominated for a New
England Emmy in the Outstanding Societal Concerns Category.
