Last night I had the good fortune to tech-wrangle at a presentation by Deborah Kingsland, who produces films by street kids in Ethiopia. The outfit behind it all is called Gem TV, and while the whole approach seemed very quixotic, the stuff she showed was pretty mindblowing. Afterwards we had an interesting discussion with other community-based film-makers about content distribution. Head hurts.
