It’s already in the news and in the blogs. Yesterday at Hotel Excelsior, during the 2007 Venice Film Festival, we introduced the Babelgum Online Film Festival. It will provide plenty to talk about in the upcoming weeks. The jury will be headed by Spike Lee, who underlined the opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their work:
“When I was starting out there was no Internet, I was in the prehistoric age. Now, if you have a film and you’re talented, if someone hasn’t seen it, it’s your fault. Talent isn’t a problem. There’s an abundance of talent. This is an opportunity to showcase it.”
We’re glad to help in showcasing talent.
—UPDATE September 4th—
As we posted yesterday (here) some clarifications have been made on the developing terms and conditions of the Babelgum Online Film Festival. I’ve added a press release and a rewritten press release below, updated with the new info.
