Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Renee VOne of the most interesting and relevant documentaries I've seen. Beautiful camera work, amazing sound and a very thought provoking look at creativity and digital culture. Go see it if you can!
User Review - 10/10 by Stephen GFantastic film. It covers so much of any creatives and opens the door to discuss whether or not affordable "game-changing" digital advances have helped or burdened the industry their in. Beautiful cinematography. Engaging content and fantastic editing!
User Review - 8/10 by Roy SReally good documentary about the present and future states of media. Are we on the cusp of a new golden age or a new dark age? Evidence of both is provided, and many other points about film, music, and publishing are discussed as well.
User Review - 8/10 by Justin OInsightful and very engaging. Shot beautifully and edited with a strong understanding of the film's content. Recommended to anyone and everyone interested in pursuing music or film...
User Review - 8/10 by Jon TAnother one I saw at the 2011 CIFF. Nothing much new to learn in this doc. You don't get to know the artists using new technology very well. So many different talking heads flicker by and so many artists briefly appear only to not be seen again. Music is more heavily focused upon than movies, ebooks, or graphic arts. If everyone has the technology and thinks they can be the next star or success story, how does this water down our culture? How does this amateur movement chasing instant success influence those who have in depth training and experience backing up their art? This movie is fast and flashy and with the focus on music reminded me of a club scene. After a few months the one artist who stuck, who had the longest through line in the movie, was the young pianist who mixed classical and pop influences while self recording at home until he was invited to play with a professional philharmonic orchestra.
User Review - 8/10 by Adolfo IGreat and insightful piece, you really caught the spirit of recent changes and summarized it well. It's also good that you have included opinions of both sides of this 'is it good or not' conflict. It's obvious that for all the industry connected individuals this change is something dramatic and they are loosing their ground, but once they start to think in the wider perspective they can't deny that what's going on here is something important and inevitable. For all the skeptics saying that this change is in fact a regress i must say that they are wrong.. and right. Fact that there is so much various in quality data available online is only imprinting on the viewers necessity to be decisive of what they are listening/viewing/linking, instead of just nodding the head in approval of what's the industry is giving them, the basic skill we almost lost while being bombarded by the media. On the other hand the quality of that data decreases - so you might have feeling that we are regressing, up to a point where the badly constructed toy is being disassembled to basic pieces and being under construction in a complete different way, so finally it works much better, but that obviously takes time. Everything has it's flaws and if you change something you will fail lot's before doing it correctly, but let's face it, industry such as Hollywood has nothing more valuable to say (and did it ever had really?) so it's time to move on. Well done.
User Review - 8/10 by Dean MFinally got around to watching this. Great doco, not much sentiment that's particularly new, but certainly reinforces a bunch of ideas that I definitely agree with. We are living in amazing times..,
User Review - 8/10 by Seth Ltechnology. culture. art. confluence. acceleration. inspiration. collaboration. indeedy.
User Review - 8/10 by Luke WA great doc about the demise of "the craft" in film, music and all things media. All thanks to the digital revolution.
User Review - 8/10 by John FI found it haunting and affective, though slightly depressing. I watched it while catching up on my correspondence (which will seem ironic once you've watched the film).
