摘要：In 2000, film makers and theorists viewed the internet and
new digital video technology with awe. It now seemed possible
to create online film festivals, in which video makers sent in
digital video entries online, to be viewed and judged by audi-
ences online, with the winners announced online. The websites
would be automated, and self-run. A global community of
special interest filmmakers, geographically distant but linked
by the internet, would thrive in these festivals. They would
exclude no video’s content, genre, or format, no matter how tiny,
obscure, or controversial. Well, in 2009, “Are we there yet?” If
so, what advantages do online festivals have over the real world
“bricks and mortar” festivals? And which communities do they
best serve?
