I received an intriguing email from TED - about a film project on Pangea Day Films (May 10th). Here's what they're planning:
Gathered in homes, movie theaters and larger venues, we will participate in a remarkable program of films and talks -- a kind of super-charged, marathon TED session.
* available in 41 million homes on the major cable and satellite systems
* available on a live, full-screen web-stream everywhere with a broadband Internet connection
The big opportunity here seems to be getting some sort of global interactivity going, but I only see light reference to such. Jehane Noujaim's wish was for world peace (this project is inspired by her wish at TED) - she wants people to meet eachother. Watching a film together is a good start, but there's so much more that they could be doing - they should be thinking about it in terms of a platform for watching video while interacting with fellow watchers.
