Browsing through our magazines and journals lying around at home, I had a look at the latest publishing of the annual doc film festival in Kassel Germany and found this great piece of music and film history: RIP – A Remix Manifesto! Covering all from Walt Disney to copyright and copyleft, Baile Funk, Mash Ups, pop culture and parties that make the world go round, director Brett Gaylor makes a statement. It’s about creative freedom going hand in hand with illegal actions, big companies chasing private persons, it’s a view behind the scenes, a mixture of all genres – and furthermore an introduction to the ill producer Girl Talk. RIP has been on 12 film festivals so far and who knows on how many home computers as well. “A true movie for the digital age with adrenaline fueled performances.” Featured artists next to Girl Talk are Gilberto Gil, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, DJ Sandrinho and others.

As remix is what remix does, you can do whatever you like with the movie, it’s all creative commons! Download it, resample it, make an animation, cut n paste a youtube video, whatever. To get hold of a copy simply visit Ripremix and donate any amount you like. By doing this, they’ll send you a link to download RIP plus lots of Girl Talk footage, as well as another link to the distributor Bside, where you get another independent movie which you can chose for free!
