R.I.P.: a Remix Manifesto @ The Lyric Tonight

June 29th @ The Lyric Theatre, 7:00 pm

The Oxford Film Festival’s Summer Series presents:

R.I.P.: a Remix Manifesto

Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers. The film’s central protagonist is Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping the charts with his sample-based songs. Is Girl Talk a paragon of people power or the Pied Piper of piracy? You decide. Creative Commons founder, Lawrence Lessig, Brazil’s Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also along for the ride.
