The world’s first film festival to take place exclusively online, the Streaming Festival has taken giant steps since SubmarineChannel collaborated with them for their first edition back in 2006.
In a technological feat that will baffle even seasoned databassists, the festival streams 190 films by over 100 artists arranged into 14 prêt-à-regarder program streams, from Opera – exchanges between Chinese and Dutch video artists – to Screen Control, which presents projects that break new ground in image manipulation techniques.
The event runs for 3 days only, harking back to a more traditional film festival concept, but with the obvious democratizing benefits of a huge and global Audience Without Borders. The combination of carefully curated films and high-end streaming technology, allows multiple users to plug in and simultaneously enjoy this unique virtual get-together.
