Portable Film Festival
To appreciate the awesomeness of the Portable Film Festival you need to think about two seemingly unrelated things at once. Firstly, you know how ‘normal' film festivals that screen at cinemas are awesome, but they can be really expensive and most of the films screen only once so if you miss out that's it? Yep. And you know how YouTube is also really fantastic but as a general ratio it's fair to say that for every 5% of gold content, there's 95% utter crap to sift through? Yep.
The Portable Film Festival is kind of like this superior genetic hybrid between the two extremes. The excellence of a film festival with the convenience of watching it in your bed if you want to. Basically you can download an entire curated international film and video program direct to your iPod, mobile phone or computer. The festival works to liberate and democratise the filmmaking and film viewing process, making stories accessible to everyone regardless of their location. Maybe you could also cook some popcorn at home and charge yourself eight dollars as homage to the cinema experience as we once knew it.
