Dear friend of Arkadia, You are warmly to a Silver Lining Creation Ry Clip Kino event on Monday 29.11 at 6pm. The event will introduce activities of Silcreation and present the concepts of social filmmaking and participatory video making. http://www.silcreation.org/ Welcome all and warm regards, Ian  www.arkadiabookshop.fi – Entrance is free and green tea will be served. A donation of €2 (or more!) is suggested and would be very welcome. Silver Lining Creation Ry are a not-for-profit social media organization based in Finland. Briefly named as Silcreation, the organization consists of independent documentary makers, script writers, development activists, freelance writers and students, and focus on Global South development issues. The event will introduce activities of Silcreation and present the concepts of social filmmaking and participatory video making. Recently, Silcreation launched an online TV channel called Global South Development TV (GSDTV) which focuses on developmental issues of the developing countries. The organization also has a twin platform in print media form called Global South Development Magazine (GSDM) which is a highly acclaimed magazine managed by a global team. These platforms are for contributions and social film productions of Silcreation, independent social filmmakers, journalists and writers, development activists, and the grassroots people who have “no place” in society to live a dignified life; and people who have “no voice” to stand for a social change in the name of humanity. The event will screen social films and clips from different countries such as Finland, Nepal, Tanzania, Bangladesh and more: countries with hearts and minds diverse in all and united in one: To give voice to the voiceless, and power to the powerless.

He was involved in early experiments with mobile and media-sharing platforms, encouraging people to upload before YouTube. However when they became a mass-medium, and thousands of videos became available online, he felt it necessary to shift attention to finding out what people were interested in. A sort of participatory ‘direct action’ media literacy: What media is online? Who is watching it? What does it mean to them, and indeed to you? Where does the video clip come from? How was it produced and distributed? Has it inspired copies, remixes or derivatives? More information:http://clipkino.info
