Dear Parents and Guardians, January 21st 2013
The first unit the 8th grade students will be studying is about Plagiarism, Copyright, and Fair Use. Students will be viewing a documentary from Canada entitled “RiP!: A Remix Manifesto” directed by Brett Gaylor. It is rated PG in British Columbia, Canada. Here is the synopsis from the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com):
In RiP: A remix manifesto, Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers.
The films central protagonist is Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping the charts with his sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk a paragon of people power or the Pied Piper of piracy? Creative Commons founder, Lawrence Lessig, Brazils Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also along for the ride.
A participatory media experiment, from day one, Brett shares his raw footage at opensourcecinema.org, for anyone to remix. This movie-as-mash-up method allows these remixes to become an integral part of the film. With RiP: A remix manifesto, Gaylor and Girl Talk sound an urgent alarm and draw the lines of battle.
There are a few instances of profanity and provocative dancing during a short scene at a concert.
If you DO NOT want your student to view this documentary, please sign in the space below and an alternative activity will be provided. Feel free to contact me at jessica.nite@mpls.k12.mn.us
