Pixelodeon 1st Annual Web Video Festival


The Pixelodeon event will feature keynote addresses from speakers bridging the divide between traditional media and new media, and those dealing with issues such as copyright and file sharing. Two dozen curators, including notable new media content creators Amanda Congdon of ABC News, Veronica Belmont of C|Net, and Bre Pettis of Make Magazine, selected videos from the Internet to illustrate themes for one-hour theater screenings starting at 12PM until 6PM each day.

“The current media landscape is changing so fast that these up-and-coming creators have a chance to help define its new foundations,” said Ryanne Hodson, co-founder of Pixelodeon, as she announced speakers, curators, and a line-up of over 300 videos for Pixelodeon’s first annual Web video screening festival to be held at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, California on June 9-10.
