From Indiewire, by Eugene Hernandez (June 9, 2008)
Hoping to launch a viable new revenue stream for a wide swath of independent films and filmmakers, the Tribeca Film Institute has unveiled Reframe, a curated online outlet with its sights set on filtering some 10,000 films and videos via the Internet. Opening its digital doors today, Reframe is backed by a million dollars in grants from the MacArthur Foundation, and includes a partnership with CreateSpace and Amazon aimed at digitizing and delivering — on DVD or via Amazon’s Unbox service — films from leading indie, documentary, foreign and experimental filmmakers.
From the Reframe website:
Reframe is bringing together and giving due love to rare independent and alternative films, helping many become commercially available for the very first time.
In a one-stop location you’ll find work from diverse sources, such as vanguard artists Sally Potter and Ken Jacobs, and distributors like Center for Asian American Media and Documentary Educational Resources.
