Activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor engagingly explores the meaning of copyright in the digital age where the wall between producers and users has been irrevocably torn down. His documentary follows several key individuals seeking to redefine originality in this new media environment, including mash-up artist Girl Talk; Creative Commons founder Lawrence Lessig; BoingBoing creator Cory Doctorow; and Brazil’s Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil. RiP is also a participatory media experiment where Gaylor shares his raw footage for anyone to remix. (83 minutes)

Admission to this event is FREE, thanks to the generosity of The Documentary Channel.
