Stockholm Film Festival goes MySpace
As a way of reaching new groups and awakening their interest, Stockholm International Film Festival has created a MySpace account. On their MySpace page they will feature unique interviews with some of the festival’s directors.
In a press release, speaksperson Elisabeth Somp writes (my translation):
The use of new platforms for information is a logical step in Stockholm Film Festival’s ambition to spread knowledge about and inspire communication around film. Myspace is one of the most visited web services in the world, where members can build networks and meet others with the same interests from around the world.
Currently the page shows clips from last year’s festival.
I wanted to let you know about a new service for all filmmakers and film students that can be seen on http://www.mymovienetwork.com. Our community of filmmakers is growing rapidly and would be interested in your upcoming festival. We would like to offer you an opportunity to promote your festival through our service and/or if you’re looking for an online partner to host and present the films entered into the festival we can fill that need.
