Reframe: Making rare films available online
The NY Times writes:
The approximately 500 works initially available range from the works of the filmmaker Sally Potter, beginning with her 1979 short “Thriller,” to collections of little-known documentaries from various archives. Some of those will be available to purchase only on DVD, because rights are controlled by commercial distributors. But the service aims to provide about 10,000 works over the next year or so and expects to make as many as possible accessible on the Web.
IndieWire explains:
[Tribeca Film Institute director] Brian Newman emphasized that Reframe is meant to be highly curated so that it can offer, "quality content." While that's a "slippery term," he reiterated that Reframe is not for user-submitted "YouTube films."
As for the ambitious goal of hitting 10,000 titles in its first year, Brian Newman is optimistic. "It's a goal, not set in stone, but I think it's feasible."
And the Hollywood Reporter explains some of the details of the deal for filmmakers/rights-holders:
The nonprofit TFI and copyright holders will split the profit on digital download rentals and purchases (distributed in Windows Media Player format) evenly. DVD sales will operate under a tiered system, with 40% of $50 and under titles, 85% of $51-$200 titles and 90% of more than $200 titles going to rights holders. More expensive titles will be aimed at the educational market looking for classroom materials, though rentals in the $4 range, lasting anywhere from 36 hours-30 days, are accessible to all visitors. Buyers must have an Amazon account to make purchases.

This is a great example of the Web’s ‘long-tail’ potential for filmmakers and film fans. Another similar online distribution channel for independent filmmakers is Lycos Cinema, which has been around since late 2006 and was upgraded last month. The site hosts hundreds of independent films in all genres. Many are previous film festival award-winners, and some are currently in the running for a jointly-hosted online film festival with Independent Features. What’s particularly cool about Lycos Cinema is that it allows fans to simultaneously watch movies and chat in real-time about what they’re watching. Full disclosure – I work with Lycos. Check it out here: http://cinema.lycos.com.
