interesting ot stuff, i stumbled upon recently:
Cory Doctorow: "The Coming Civil War over General-purpose Computing", Talks at Google (Aug 2012; length: 70min)

I can't really imagine that there will be much interest from the mainstream on this. It's not sexy enough for them like something like DeepWeb will be (even though that's not exactly going to get a cinema release either and premieres on TV sometime this month I believe). As a bitcoin fan I don't think I'll be that excited for Life on Bitcoin either but I will watch it when its freely available. I think it'll just be a film about them wandering round looking dejected everytime they get rejected then a bit of excitement when they find some coffeeshop or a local to accept bitcoin in exchange for something.

Finally....coming this summer  :



"Life on Bitcoin"

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmGDcDmu6ak&feature=youtu.be
AMA on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/37c569/

They're taking submits for personal screenings on http://lifeonbitcoin.com/

unfortunately no, according to beccy and austin's twitter (https://twitter.com/lifeonbitcoin) they posted a facebook update in march.
(no fb account here, so i didn't care about it as it's the poorest way to release updates imo)
since they mentioned to work with a publisher it got really silent around their project.
compared to similar projects it's really a joke how long they are taking to release, esp. regarding the 70,000$ funding via kickstarter 2013.
In August 2014, they said it's nearly finished and they are applying for several festivals and thinking about distribution models. (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitcoinlife/life-on-bitcoin-a-documentary-film/posts/961563)
From my experience this can take up to one year, but in fast evolving bitcoin space they'd be better off keeping marketing phase as short as possible because the shown content will already be obsolete on release. (as seen before with 'rise and rise of bitcoin')

it's a shame that the movie will probably just turn into another melancholic flick for bitcoiners about the early stages instead of reaching mainstream audience.
i saw so much potential there but i doubt they will show footage about the recent progress.


thanks to knight22 for the update and Troublesome96 for the cudos

good point, when i have some free time i'll start making a newbie-friendly list and start a new thread (perhaps on the beginner board).



 

Huge thread, but would appreciate a special "introduction for noobs" list of documentaries where easy-to-understand and entertaining documentaries are listed specially to show to newbies and get them interested in BTC world.

Thanks for maintaining this Documentary thread hlynur!   

This is a great resource to start for any newcomers trying to grasp the ins and outs, the good and bad, of how Bitcoin works and where we might be headed.

sidenote: The Atlantic Council is a US think tank and lobby organisation controlled by former high-ranking politicians, ex-military brass and global enterprises.
It's aimed at establishing contacts to governments in the transatlantic area and influence economy, politics and security to its interest.
Going through the row of involved people, governments and companies, this organisations looks like one of the top influential networks in the western world.

you're welcome  

Just released- Bitcoin:  The future of digital currency financial systems.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw3PhMFm8tQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
(Length 87min)

Not bad it is worth waching, very long introductions at the start, a lot of big US government names. They also go into the history of gold/USD prices among other interesting facts thats that some people may not know.

Strange that in the description on youtube it says published 2/4/15 but a lot of the prices they quote are wrong for today, like LTC @$11 per coin, i haven't seen it that high in a long time, must have been filmed some time ago, can anybody update as to when this was filmed?

Wow Awesome All in One Place Great Job

thanks & put on the list.
not too much material lately.
