AboutNewMedia.com blogging will now be at Guinevere.ca! I’ve decided to post under my other domain which I prefer to this — the content will remain the same for the most part. I’ll be adding a redirect to the new domain shortly, but wanted to note the domain change.
If you head over to guinevere.ca now, you’ll see the site is pretty much identical to this one now. I’ve imported all my old posts and started blogging about media over there already. If you were interested in the conference I spoke at last week, check out my Input Roundup post — an overview of the international buffet of television and cross-platform projects I took in.
See you there!

It’s day two at the Input conference in Warsaw and I wanted to share the best project I’ve seen so far. Gaza/Sderot - Life in Spite of Everything is a series of 80 films shot over 40 days — one per day in Gaza and one per day in the town of nearby Sderot. Each is a day-in-the-life style video that follows one of 14 people (seven in each town).
The entire series is presented in an interactive cinema format whereby the end user can choose what order they want to see the stories presented in. You can view the narrative by day, but subject matter, by character, or randomly.
Here’s one of the 80 clips you can watch — this one about a teenage girl playing volleyball with her team in Gaza.
