Title:
Google & the World Brain
Description:
Storyville: Documentary which tells the story of the most
ambitious project ever conceived on the internet and the
people
who tried to stop it. In 1937 HG Wells predicted the
creation of the ’world brain’, a giant global library
that
contained all human knowledge which would lead to a new
form
of higher intelligence. 70 years later the realisation
of
that dream was under way, as Google scanned millions of
books for its Google Books website. However, over half those
books were still in copyright and authors across the world
launched a campaign to stop them,
climaxing in a New York
courtroom in 2011. A film about the dreams, dilemmas and
dangers of the internet, set in spectacular locations in
China,
USA, Europe and Latin America

Title: The
Pirate Bay
Description: Storyville:
Documentary telling the story of The Pirate Bay,
the
world’s largest file sharing site which facilitates
downloading of copyrighted material. The film follows the
three Swedish founders of The Pirate Bay through their trial
after they are taken to court by Hollywood and the
entertainment industry, accused of breaking copyright law.
Seeing themselves as technicians whose aim is to run the
world’s largest web platform, in scenes
bordering on the
absurdly comedic they claim that their actions are about
freedom and not money. The closer the film gets to them, it
becomes
increasingly clear that they are rather unworldly
nerds, whose social skills and ability to comprehend the
analogue world, and each other, are somewhat limited
