PI09: The Elders
A 2009 BAVC Producers Institute ProjectProject Director: Marc Boothe The Elders Project is a major cross-media project from B3Media in the UK that will engage inter-generational participants using a combination of photography, oral history, video, spoken word, text and interactive digital platforms to document and preserve the untold stories of the first generation of African-Caribbean settlers who came to Britain in the early 50's. The Elders Project will provide a voice to under-represented young people and elders both in the UK and the US, engaging new, transitional audiences with innovative ways to tell their stories. At the Institute, the B3 team designed a three-tiered model of both live physical and virtual spaces where participants experience and create content through a remix interface in the tradition of ‘call and response.' In this unique cultural mashup, the project manages to incorporate a major photographic museum exhibition, an online/virtual gallery, and an inter-generational social networking/storytelling platform with robust content management tools. Marc Boothe is the Executive Director of B3 Media, one of the UK's leading creative hubs for emerging black and minority ethnic artists and producers.
PI09: American Meat
A 2009 BAVC Producers Institute ProjectProject Director: Alejandro de Onis In the documentary American Meat, producer (Alejandro de Onis) and director (Graham Meriwether) explore the impact of the recent economic downturn on industrial agriculture, and how one farmer in Virginia, Joel Salatin, is leading a small but growing group of farmers who are looking to expand the influence of local small-scale farms. The film explores how the agricultural industry has brutalized the food production process, and become America’s #1 polluter. At the Producers Institute, De Onis and his team architected a plan to bring farmers and communities to a “digital dinner table” by integrating the film within an e-commerce and social networking context. Through an innovative, web-based regional food network and market place (an EBAYfor the local food movement) called Harvest Cloud, consumers will be able to easily source and purchase local organic food, connect with food producers, and help local food movements proliferate and thrive. Connected to Harvest Cloud is Leave It Better, a youtube-style portal for the green movement where participants are encouraged to post and share videos documenting what they have done to leave their communities better. This site is “seeded” by a collection of flip cameras that will be given to participants around the country, and then “flipped” to others to document their own inspirational green activities.
