What is
Pixelodeon?
Pixelodeon is an annual independent
video festival recognizing innovation,
inspiration, and community in global
online video. This is our inaugural
year! Over 100 videos, four keynote
speakers, two dozen curators, and
several hundred people interested in
independent media will get together in
one weekend to celebrate the diversity
and talent of online video content. If
you want to see what’s happening online
and meet the people who are making it
happen, this is the place to be.
Okay, How Does
It Work?
On June 9-10 in Los Angeles, California
at the
American Film Institute (AFI), we
will have three theaters screening
videos on movie-theater sized screens.
Two of the theaters will screen videos
selected by curators according to a
theme they have selected. The third
theater is the Community Theater, which
is curated by you (yes, YOU) on our
wiki.
What Else Do I
Need To Know?
Outside the theaters, conversations will
be happening all over the AFI campus.
This is a chance to talk with friends
old and new, to widen your personal
network, to interact with mainstream
media representatives, and to find out
about the incredible, diverse talent
that is defining a new vocabulary for
entertainment and information on the
Internet.
