August 23, 2024
Catch Up: A Peek From a Few Weeks Ago
#01: Last week, Riga was buzzing with Bitcoiners (#BH2024) and Nostriches (#NostRiga). We were right there! CONGRATS to everyone behind those two awesome events. We also had the pleasure of supporting one of the afterparties, #NostrPeopleConnect, organized by one of our founders: KUDOS to ItsTomek 💜👏 If you missed all the fun, you can still catch the broadcast video.
#02: While waiting for the full film, it’s worth checking out its trailer and listening to some of the soundtrack 🎞️ One thing is sure: BITCOIN EXECUTOR has been hard at work this summer.
— TRAILER —
#03: Geyser Fund has introduced a new feature to their platform: An ‘umbrella’ for multiple pages, allowing creators to link their works and making it easier for users to find related stuff in one place. A great example of this in action is Jessica Solce with her projects. Visit Encode Productions to see how it works.
BFF-Buzz: What’s Hot and Happening These Days?
#01: Halloween / Bitcoin WhitepaperDay this year will mark another important moment. Jot it down: DIRTY COIN is coming to selected theaters on October 31! More info directly on its website.
#02: August shows a major migration of users from X to Nostr. If you’re new to the topic, check out the short documentary by Max DeMarco ⤵️ SOCIAL MEDIA IS BROKEN CAN. WE FIX IT?
Also, follow Bitcoin FilmFest directly on Nostr, as our updates on other social media platforms will be less frequent from now on.
#03: Do you remember IndeeHub Studio? It’s ‘A cinema-centric streaming platform aiming to re-imagine the relationship between artists and audience members’ (or as some once called it, a ‘Netflix killer’😎). They’ve been quite busy over the past few months — building up and nicely expanding its content. In September, we’ll have some exciting news to share and a little surprise for you…
Bitcoin Cinema: Reels to Keep an Eye On
📽️ UNBANKABLE
A new inspiring film on the horizon: 7 Years, 7 Countries, 7 African Majority Film Crews, and 1 Question: CAN AFRICA SAVE THE WEST? Here you can read more about and check out the trailer.
📽️ FORGING A COUNTRY
A new documentary by Jessica Solce that captures the mood on the streets and behind the scenes in El Salvador leading up to President Bukele’s historic landslide re-election.
📽️ JONES PLANTATION
Intriguing, thought-provoking, and somewhat funny. A story that shows how enslaved people can be given a false sense of freedom that they come to believe in. Another proof that Binema isn’t always directly about Bitcoin. A must-see!
📽️ 21 VOICES
Do you already know the series of short films by Swan Studio made in collaboration with talented creators and a few respected faces in the Bitcoin space? Just recently they released final episodes, now covering a total of 21 topics. Head over to their YouTube channel to watch them all.
📽️ INSPIRING SHORTS
Still on the subject of short videos that offer wise thoughts, education, and even motivation: Check out the new series from Ioni Appelberg. In just 4 weeks, he has released 4 powerful episodes, with still more likely on the way.
🎬 THE BITCOIN SOCIAL LAYER DOCUMENATRY
One of the cool projects, still in progress, that needs your support: A film exploring how Bitcoin is much more than a technology or a financial asset, but an unstoppable idea that will change the world. Visit their Geyser campaign, and please consider sending some sats. No amount is small.
“Bitcoin mining not only faces a branding problem but is also at risk of being regulated out of existence. It is crucial to counter these misconceptions with truth in a way that the average person can understand.”
A Glimpse: Making Films to Bring a Change
To round off, let’s experience a beautiful blend of visuals and music, thoughtfully put together by Richard Reel.
