XEmacs for Windows. Yay!

The founders of the Dogme 95 method of filmmaking will do an interactive year 2000 film project, backed by the Danish Film Institute.

The 4 x 70 minutes will be broadcast simultaneously on four national tv-channels on January 1st, 2000 at 19:30 hours Copenhagen time immediately following the New Year's speech by the Danish Prime Minister. The intention is for viewers at home to edit their own unique film by zapping between the four national tv-stations.

The film will be shot in real-time, with no editing (beyond the editing the viewier does with their TV). Four actors, each with a camera crew, will go their separate ways, in live contact with the four directors back at the project headquarters via intercom. The directors will watch the video feed to control the project from remote.

The Dogme 95 method of filmmaking seeks to bring filmmaking back to its roots. Check out the manifesto on their web site, as well as the corresponding entry in the Internet Filmmaker's FAQ. (As weird as the "millenium" project sounds, it meets the qualifications.)

Lisa's National Film Registry contest has a November 15 deadline. Are your favorite films not on the NFR preservation list? Should they be? If they get added this year, you could win videos! In fact, Lisa isn't getting many entries, so you're very likely to win! :)
