    The Next Frontier: Independent Film and the Arrival of Non-Traditional, Alternative Distribution.
    We’re hearing a lot about how the current system of film distribution is broken. In this “old” model, a film may get one rare chance to be delivered by a designated gatekeeper via just a few channels through tightly controlled and often exclusive distribution windows within specific territories.
    Over the past few years however, we have seen growing evidence of a new model – one where the content creator can maintain his or her own rights in a non-exclusive fashion and distribute through multiple channels, in perpetuity.
    Is this truly a new distribution frontier? If so, where do the opportunities and challenges lie for independent filmmakers? Join a panel of distinguished leaders in the field of non-traditional distribution who’ll be separating truth from rumor and offering valuable case studies from the front lines of digital exhibition, internet streaming, cable video on demand and social networking.
