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.
