NANOFESTIVAL
is a parasite, portable, adoptable, resizable, open source, international film festival for extreme short (max 10 sec.!) web movies. Nanofestival as an event is also establishing a new model for cultural engineering. Not only the individual works that are open source, but the whole festival can be ‘picked, taken and presented’ for free, and by anyone on a single cd-rom.
It is licensed under a Creative Common License.
There are three editions so far. The titles: automat, hole, erotica.
the erotica edition is not yet on the web for technical reasons, but it is distributed on cd/dvd, and it is screened.
It has been shown on many events on many continents. In the Americas, in Rosario/Argentina, MOMA/New York City, Columbia, Mexico, probably Canada, and god knows where. In Europe, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Berlin Short Film Festival, Budapest, 1st. VJ Festival, Stralsund G-Niale Film Festival as a special program, in Hungary, at the Small Performance Festival, many screenings in Italy. There are rumours about screenings from Austral-Asia, we are planning to enter the film business in East-Africa via Zanzibar, West-Africa via Dakar. Due to the special character of the festival, it is almost impossible to track every single screening. We have given away about 40 copies of the material for people from all around the world. If you want a copy of the festival on a CD-ROM, write to us. It is free.

Front View
E-democracy
The term E-democracy is both descriptive and prescriptive. Typically, the kinds of enhancements sought by proponents of e-democracy are framed in terms of making processes more accessible; making citizen participation in public policy decision-making more expansive and direct so as to enable broader influence in policy outcomes as more individuals involved could yield smarter policies; increasing transparency and accountability; and keeping the government closer to the consent of the governed, thereby increasing its political legitimacy. E-democracy includes within its scope electronic voting, but has a much wider span than this single aspect of the democratic process.
