Onboard Diary

LESS THAN ONE WEEK LEFT

Probably more than one or two of your have deduced -after the previous post- that another big event is coming... And, as it is the tradition in this house, we'll put ourselves in an appearance. Of course we will :P


The thing is we've just received the invitations to the 3rd edition of FICOD, the International Forum of Digital Contents. And not only as attendants: we're going to take part in two round tables dealing with the worldwide launching of Iberminuto Mobile Content and the Green Mobile Film Festival. We'll have to mingle, among others, with figures of such importance as Arin Crumley (co-director of Four Eyed Monsters), Rusti Baker (Motorola Partnership Program) and Sixto Arias. In these tables, we're going to discuss new business models based on crossed strategies and their implementation through the cinema, education, leisure and social action sectors. Nothing important, really.

And here comes the best part... During this meeting, we'll be revealing two issues of  which we have decided to give you a scoop (you deserve this and much more):

1. It's a fact: The Cosmonaut has accepted to collaborate with the Green Mobile Film Festival in a contest to promote audivisual creativity in schools. Thanks to this initiative, the students will have to create their own derived contents under a Creative Commons license. A panel of judges will be in charge of awarding the school with the best project.

2.Also, as we told you about here: Riot Cinema Collective will take part in the Entrepreneurs Contest organized by FICOD. The winners will be announced on Thursday the 19th ... On the same day that the INVI awards panel's decision will be revealed!

Intense emotions ahead. What do you mean 'where'? From the 17th to the 19th of November, in the Palacio Municipal de Congresos de Madrid. Make your bets...
