Colaboração, cultura livre e educação aberta na produção de vídeo e cinema

Abstract

This experimental project report is about the creation and coordination of a group that act as a video production laboratory and manage its cognitive surplus (SHIRKY, 2011) to video and film production, also creating free licensed content (LESSIG, 2005) and available to reuse. This space of collaboration may also be seen as an space of open education (ILLICH, 1985), due to its experimental and collective character. The need of this work is due to the growing trend of collaboration and free culture as alternatives to the industrial and commercial methods of television and filmmaking. With collaborative practices, through open meetings, workshops and other activities, the group shared the experience of making video and cinema with other producers, amateurs or professionals, with or without experience. Working with these principles, the group decided to produce a documentary about the use of public spaces in the city of Santa Maria, thus, putting collective and associated to our environment questions in vogue, in addition to cause reflection.
