Stockstock 2004 Film Festival
The Stockstock film festival is rather unique. It's about editing, not production. When you register, you will be sent a miniDV tape with stock footage that you can edit into a finished movie (three minutes max). The stock footage will come from the Prelinger Archives, a repository of public domain films (now owned by the Library of Congress). This emphasis on editing is a great way to promote an awareness of public domain material as a source for derivative works, and emphasizes the importance of the public domain (and why copyright legislation should encourage rather than obliterate, a "domain" of freely accessible works for public use in creating new works). Everyone who registers (it costs 20 dollars) gets the same footage. Deadline is June 15 for entries.
