Found Footage!
Christmas 2009 feature on VideoChannel

According to [Wikipedia] –>
Found footage is a filmmaking term which describes a method of compiling films partly or entirely of footage which has not been created by the filmmaker, and changing its meaning by placing it in a new context. The term refers to the “found object” (objet trouvé) of art history.

VideoChannel - video project environments
http://videochannel.newmediafest.org
is looking for some excellent films and videos using “found footage” as a relevant component of the film/video making to be included in the Christmas 2009 feature on VideoChannel online and the FFF (Found Footage Film) collection to be presented and screened in physical space at a later stage.

For both, the online feature and physical screenings, however, is most relevant, that no author’s rights are violated by the creator using “found footage”.
