“Culture, Commerce, and Public Media: A New Forum for Creators” addresses how commercial and noncommercial institutions active in culture, education, and media can make their materials—current productions, and legacy content—more openly available. Keynote speakers will include Paula Kerger, president of PBS; Orlando Bagwell, filmmaker and program officer of the Ford Foundation; Alex Gibney, producer and director of "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room"; and Ric Burns, president of Steeplechase Films. They and other leading producers, broadcasters, educators, technology providers, and funding organizations will present economic models for open access to educational video; case studies of cooperative productions between public broadcasting productions and educational institutions; examples of the use of social networking and peer-to-peer networks for production and distribution; and discuss about how free services are finding fresh methods of becoming sustainable. The discussion will promote ways more generally for the creative sector to take advantage of the technological, legal, and economic opportunities posed by television and video in the digital age.
