The university that brought an idyllic vision for peace and love will be helping host The Conversation, a series of sessions about visual storytelling and distribution this Friday and Saturday. Filmmaker Tiffany Schlain and CinemaTech blogger Scott Kirsner have partnered with the good people at Berkeley’s Center of New Media to discuss the future of independent film, TV, and online video. Efe Cakarel, from the cinematic fan club The Auteurs, will be presenting on “Media Shifts from Push to Pull, Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Facebook” if the social web is more up your alley than green screen and video puppetry presentations. Drinks to follow at local pub Beckett’s with independent film finance network IndieGoGo.
