- FILM SCREENING SPONSOR -

The arts, specifically the music and film industries, have perhaps been the most profoundly impacted of all industry by the digital revolution. Canadian superstar Keanu Reeves felt passionately about exploring the impact that digital had on the movie business and so he engaged several of his fellow filmmaker to create the impressive documentary SIDE BY SIDE, which has graced film festival screens around the world.

From the film’s website: “The documentary investigates the history, process and workflow of both digital and photochemical film creation.  We show what artists and filmmakers have been able to accomplish with both film and digital and how their needs and innovations have helped push filmmaking in new directions.  Interviews with directors, cinematographers, colorists, scientists, engineers and artists reveal their experiences and feelings about working with film and digital — where we are now, how we got here and what the future may bring.”

Justin Szlasa co-produced the critically-acclaimed feature documentary with Keanu Reeves.  SIDE BY SIDE chronicles the way digital technology has revolutionized how movies are made through interviews with industry leaders like George Lucas, James Cameron, Lars Von Trier, Walter Murch and David Lynch.

On the evening of Monday, May 13, Mr. Szlasa will be on hand to kick off CDMN Canada 3.0 2013 with a screening of the film, followed by a Q&A with sponsor TVO’s commissioning editor, Jane Jankovic.

Advanced registration for this event is required. Please register here.

The way we transact intellectual property rights and manage contracts that has developed over many decades doesn’t meet the emerging needs of the digital content community. On the one hand we have state of the art digital technologies in multimillion-dollar production and broadcast management suites creating a huge volume and variety of content. On the other, we have a slow, methodical, labour intensive and document-oriented process.

Rights management could interface more effectively with a rapidly evolving and complex technology ecosystem to automate many of the downstream processes. How do we make the rights licensing process faster and more efficient and drive down transaction costs and complexity?

You’ve read about their stories on Mashable, TechCrunch, BusinessWeek… these young entrepreneurs have enjoyed tremendous success with their disruptive technologies – garnering up to millions of dollars in funding using traditional and non-traditional methods, and, in one case, getting acquired by Google. These dynamic innovators have more than their success in common – they are all graduates of the Y Combinator accelerator program, one of the most competitive programs in North America, if not the world. The other tie that binds them together is that they returned to Canada to grow their businesses, when many other Canucks did not venture back North after their stint in the Valley. Why did they return? What is it about the Canadian marketplace and the true north worker ethic that keeps these companies here? In this sure-to-be lively discussion, we’ll discuss the realities – warts and all – of successfully applying for and subsequently completing a Y Combinator stint, as well as what competitive advantages Canada has for starting and growing successful long-term technology ventures like these ones.

What exactly are the problems with rights management? Who is impacted?  What are the costs to the organization?

In our second session on rights management, we’ll walk through scenarios in the life of digital content. In each, we’ll outline the stages, the players, the systems and the artifacts along with challenges in framing, transferring and managing associated rights. We will highlight the ambiguous terminology and concepts that bog the process down in phone calls, negotiations, conversations and clarifications. We will explore the opportunities for clarity, standardization and disambiguation in agreements

As we identify and describe these challenges, solutions will begin to emerge. You will understand the issues in rights management for both the industry and your organization and see how standardization drives out costs.

We’ll explore these topics with an industry panel moderated by

Lights, Camera, Economic Action: Building Human Capital to Fuel Screen-based Industry Growth

If innovation is the driving force of the digital economy, talent is its currency. In its 25^th year, the Canadian Film Centre (CFC) continues to play a critical role in the development of Canada’s top screen-based industry talent. What’s more, as found in a 2012 Nordicity report, the CFC’s alumni are creating new companies, products and content which generate measurable growth and economic activity in the sector.  But how can Canada maintain and grow its ability to nurture and retain top screen-based industry talent and how can we anticipate future skills, talent and performance needs of the sector?

Join CFC representatives, alumni and Nordicity for a discussion on the role of the CFC in the ecology of the screen based sector in Canada, highlights of its economic impacts and key performance indicators as well as a dynamic discussion on the role of the CFC and what the screen-industry  needs in order to keep producing (and retaining) top talent.

Discussion threads may include:

• What is the vision of Canada’s screen-based sector? What is the strategy? How well are we doing?
• What kind of talent is propelling screen-based industry today in Canada to meet that vision?
• What is the impact on the economy that flows from the CFC graduates?

In our third session on rights management, we’ll explore the technology ecosystem and how the components of the production and broadcast management systems address rights requirements.  From simple text boxes to highly configurable rights administration systems, each environment has mechanisms for capturing and acting on rights.  The key to all of this is metadata – the information about assets and the embodiment of that information in ways that technology can interpret and act on. In definitions and examples that everyone can understand, you’ll learn the crucial central role that metadata plays in the rights world.

Description: There is an identity ecosystem emerging in Canada that is unique in the world. It is a multi-enterprise service that is focused on making more meaningful services available online while at the same time making it easier for users to enroll, access and control information shared by these services. Things like easy access to online government services, opening a bank account on the internet, proving your identity for new services online, registering your child at school or participating in an education portal are becoming possible.

The service model for the Internet is moving from app-centric to user-centric. The current password model of authentication needs to evolve. Every web service needs to make a choice between making their credentials stronger by adding multifactor authentication (BYOD) or partnering to get authentication from a trusted provider (BYOC).

What are the motivators for change? What does this mean for users and web services? What is the economic model? How to improve the security and privacy model for users? What is happening now and what is on the horizon?

Add to my schedule

In this final session, we’ll apply best practices for deriving, defining and agreeing upon terms that could constitute standard rights management constructs. Attendees will be grouped and given assignments and instructions to create a rights management framework to meet the requirements of a typical transaction. We’ll put the exercises into a larger framework for attendees to see how rights management metadata, controlled vocabularies and ontologies are systematically derived and validated. The output of this working session will assist attendees in understanding and refining approaches to real world problems in their organizations. In a hands-on interactive workshop, you’ll learn about the following topics:

-       Real world scenario and use case review
-       Steps to the taxonomy development process
-       Interactive exercises developing terms
-       Validation approaches
-       Next steps in the industry initiative and formation of the rights working group
