For immediate release

The international open source film, www.straycinema.com, has released new raw film footage on their website.
This is the second open source film provided by Stray Cinema.

The new footage was directed by New Zealand filmmaker Naomi Lamb and features characters in period costume set amidst spectacular New Zealand landscape and an eerie back alley.

Stray Cinema wants to give everybody the opportunity to have a say over what story is told with this footage.

To participate people must edit a one-two minute film from the available footage. Participants are then invited to post their film edits back onto the Stray Cinema website, to be judged by their online community.

The top five films will be screened alongside the directors original cut at the Stray Cinema screening in New Zealand. The screening will be held six months from the day there are 30 film submissions on the website.

This screening is very important to Stray Cinema, as it navigates the film experiment out of the online digital world, and into the 'real world'.

The screening of the top five films will be coupled with VJs mixing the raw footage to live music. It will engage the online community, by webcasting footage from the event live onto the website, along with live web-chat, vodcasting and blogging.

Year by year Stray Cinema aims to increase the quality of the raw footage they use. It is their dream to have David Lynch shoot the footage for Stray Cinema 2010.
