BY MARTIN LEDUC. TORONTO, CANADA (CINEMA MINIMA) — The Yale Law School and its partners in the Open Video Alliance are seeking to bring together about 400 participants for a conference in New York. The organizers hope to bring online video up to the standards of accessibility and decentralization that we’ve reached with other forms of web communication (blogs, email, etc…).
The conference is accepting submissions of movies and video art that will “showcase the creative potential of artists in the open video space.” They’re also accepting proposals for panels, workshops and other events. The deadline is March 19, 2009.
You can get more information and make your proposal at the following link: http://openvideoalliance.org/proposals/
