Film maker Brett Gaylor has released a documentary called RIP (a remix manifesto) that documents the now 10 year old online war with music that's been ongoing since Napster was first born. The documentary follows a remix artist named 'girl talk' that takes samples off music he downloads from the internet and remixes it in to his own tracks.Brett hopes it will inspire people to use the same idea with his film - remix it and create something new and the film actually gave the audience the chance to do this. They could download clips from opensourcecinema.org remix them and then have them included in the final film.
Is this the first of a new generation of films?

it bugs me when people call girl talk some type of thief. I remember in college someone describing advertising as " combining two things that had never been combined prior, at least not in that way. Hence, music(or anything creative)...the tone, the tune, the order can be changed to create something new.

greg gillis aka girl talk is not only a talented mash up artist, but a bio medical engineer.....and knows how to party. I think he is perfect for this innovative film since he breaks the typical "dj" mold.

I read this was all the rage at this years SXSW festival. I am all in favour of mash-up's so long as the source-artist is willing to donate their material. Piracy is forever identifying gaps in the market, or new spaces that the market could expand to fill. It's hard to think that Hollywood was founded by film-makers fleeing Edison's burdensome patents on cinema equipment in NYC. This idea seems to study the paradoxes of copyright law and its discontents. I love anything that celebrates remix culture! It’s almost as good as listening to The Very Best of Bros, right?

It's an interesting and fairly innovative idea but I'm not sure I hope it's "the first in a new generation of films"...

This is such a cool concept and a refreshing change from a snooty director not wanting his 'authority' over the film being questioned.
I bet there's gonna be some cool results coming from this, think it should be more of a regular thing?
