[Solar-general] [OT] Sita Sings The Blues y otras peliculas libres

[Fernando Marcelo]

http://www.sitasingstheblues.com/

Realmente una de las mejores peliculas que he visto en los ultimos
tiempos. Basicamente un musical, genero al que no aprecio en lo
absoluto (incluso me molestan los de los Simpsons :-P), pero con esta
pelicula no pude sacarle los ojos de encima. Es una maravilla, tanto
en su guion como en el arte. Un lujo. Y libre. Un extracto de la
pagina principal:

"""
    Dear Audience,

    I hereby give Sita Sings the Blues to you. Like all culture, it
belongs to you already, but I am making it explicit with a Creative
Commons Attribution-Share Alike License. Please distribute, copy,
share, archive, and show Sita Sings the Blues. From the shared culture
it came, and back into the shared culture it goes.

    You don't need my permission to copy, share, publish, archive,
show, sell, broadcast, or remix Sita Sings the Blues. Conventional
wisdom urges me to demand payment for every use of the film, but then
how would people without money get to see it? How widely would the
film be disseminated if it were limited by permission and fees?
Control offers a false sense of security. The only real security I
have is trusting you, trusting culture, and trusting freedom.

Se puede descargar desde la pagina oficial o ver online por ahi. Vale
la pena tenerla, y verla los que no la hayan visto.

Las FAQs son muy interesantes de leer, desde lo tecnico del film hasta
la posicion politica de su autora:

"""
Q:  Why did you decide to release “Sita” on-line?

A: The whole struggle with our broken copyright system turned me into
a Free Culture activist. I’m actually going to release all my old
“Nina’s Adventures” and “Fluff” comics under a Share Alike (copyleft)
license too. I saw what happened to Annette Hanshaw’s beautiful
recordings: they got locked up so no one could hear them. I didn’t
want that to happen to my film. My first concern is Art, and Art has
no life if people can’t share it.

Por si alguno no lo tiene, o hace rato que no lo revisa:
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Films Ahi hay un buen listado, Sita
incluida (estoy bajando Oceania, y por los primeros minutos que vi
pinta excelente -al menos la fotografia-).

Y esta serie nueva, que esperemos se pueda realizar completo porque el
primer capitulo es muy prometedor:
