Interview: How Upload Cinema is bringing the best of YouTube to theatres
Crowdsourcing and curating YouTube videos to show them in cinemas? Great idea! Dagan Cohen explains why...
MIPBlog spoke to Dagan Cohen, the founder of Upload Cinema, a Dutch initiative whereby the best YouTube videos on a given theme – say, cats – are crowdsourced and curated, then shown in a movie theatre to hundreds of fans. The idea, Cohen explains, is to make the usually-solitary practice of watching online video more social and fun.
Upload Cinema is based in Holland, but is rapidly branching out to other countries as we speak.
