More from Paris Accord II, the film and video workshop

media1aa.jpgThe Paris Accord II conference linking creators of content with consumers continues with a workshop today on film, video and art. Here is a long-distance Flip video snap of media futurist Gerd Leonhard presenting. Other panelists listed here on the agenda. Previous blog on yesterday's action at the event. Participants twitter at #tacd. Excerpt from the working draft of the Paris Accord document regarding film, video and art:

1.It is vital to ensure that both content makers and consumers have unimpeded, but fair, access to communicate and engage in transactions with each other. Access to audiovisual content is essential to help ensure the public can readily obtain diverse sources of information, including cultural products.

2.The growing availability of a multiplatform digital distribution systems, such as the broadband Internet, Internet Protocol TV (IPTV), and mobile services, provides an important opportunity for both audiovisual content creators and consumers. For example, media makers can now sell content directly to consumers using broadband connections. Consumers also have the ability to view and acquire a diverse array of audiovisual content.
