CITIZEN 3.0
copyright, creativity and contemporary culture
The digitization of media presents an opportunity to interrogate and understand our culture by remixing its products. CITIZEN 3.0 examines the relationship between media, technology, culture and democracy through the lens of copyright law. This documentary employs and explores the fair use exception in copyright law, which allows creators to use copyrighted material without permission or payment. Whether this opportunity will be accepted as the healthy evolution of a tradition of free expression or rejected as a trespass upon private property is a question whose subtlety veils its significance.

Capital: Impressions Of Early Empire
Capital tracks film director, Leigh Morfoot,
as she injects her cast and crew into the live setting of a heated, economic
protest. Seven actors inhabiting the characters of a cross-section of
Washington D.C. twenty-somethings improvise their actions and reactions as
they navigate a city under siege.
Combining Brechtian theatrical strategies with a Direct Cinema style,
Capital walks the substantive boundary between
narrative and documentary filmmaking while raising questions concerning the
impact of globalization.
