Mashup Matrix, LoTR, Star Wars and Harry Potter and win!
Fred sez, "Free Culture @ NYU's Film remix contest is open for submissions! FC @ NYU wants you to use original footage from The Matrix, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter to make a parody short film of 5-8 minutes. Think of it as giving these classic films the "Shining" treatment while promoting fair use of copyrighted work. We're planning on screening the best shorts at an event at the end of April, as well as hosting them online. Please check out our page for instructions, rules, and examples of what we're looking for. The contest is open to anyone who can get us a parody by April 14th 2006." Link (Thanks, Fred!)
