In Video Collaboration

Giulia Baldi
Towards the end of the '90s, long before the whole world found out about web 2.0, social networking and co-creation online, Furthernoise/Furtherfield, a collective of activists and radical artists that was founded in the UK by Marc Garret and Ruth Catlow, focused their activity on concepts such as horizontal collaboration, sharing, involvement, openness, co-creation. In short they were turning the culture of individualism and D.I.Y. (do it yourself) into a culture of community and D.I.W.O.

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

Marco Riciputi
They ask me what does Benjamin Button have to do with the Future Film Festival, what a question!' bursts out Oscar Cosulich, the art director of the kermes which presents the Italian Premiere of the film of David Fincher. Justifiably disappointed, because the special effects' always make you think of something heavily-noisy like travel to the centre of the earth' or King Kong, 20 meters tall'. - Young as in Kalifornia....
