Pirates take Berlin.
Congratulations to The Pirate Bay: Away From Keyboard, a feature-length doc about the Swedish file-sharing site that revolutionized the media landscape and prompted an international legal fight.
The filmmaker just announced that his movie will premiere at this year’s Berlinale!
In a first for the prestigious festival, the doc will debut simultaneously in a free online screening — tune in February 8th.
A little bit of history.
Exciting news about The Pirate Bay — Away From Keyboard, the full-length documentary about the controversial Swedish file-sharing site.
Creator Simon Klose has finished the film and just announced a historic partnership with six national broadcasters in Europe. These six media organizations, including the BBC and Sweden’s SVT, have agreed to use Creative Commons to license Klose’s film — a first for these major national networks. The agreement ensures that audiences will be freely able to share the film, even as it receives formal distribution.
