March 8th marks the date that RiP, a seriously entertaining and ground-breaking documentary, premieres in Vancouver. RiP: A remix manifesto is an edgy exploration of copyright law’s effect on the future of art and our daily activities in a world where watching YouTube and downloading music is the norm.
The film follows Girl Talk, a hip hop dj, acknowledged by many as a ‘lawsuit waiting to happen’ due to his famous mash-ups. His story demonstrates copyright law’s original purpose of artist protection and its dominant incarnation today as a money-making tool for corporations. RiP asks us to consider a balance between artistic inspiration, sharing within a community and copyright protection.
RiP: A remix manifesto is from local filmmaker and web activist Brett Gaylor. A founding instructor of the Gulf Islands Film and Television School, Gaylor founded opensourcecinema.org, a video remix community which allowed RiP to be the first open source documentary.
