Dir: Brett Gaylor/Canada/2008/80 mins

Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers. The film’s central protagonist is Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping the charts with his sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk a paragon of people power or the Pied Piper of piracy? Creative founder, Lawrence Lessig, Brazil’s Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also along for the ride.

This screening is presented in association with the National Film Board Of Canada.

NB: This performance will be preceeded by a LIVE musical performance from artist Cárthach Ó Nuanáin, showcasing his remarkable ReacTacT system.
