What are NewTeeVee Pier Screenings?
The NewTeeVee Pier Screenings, a series of four summer events, bring together
content creators and online video aficionados in a casual setting.
These events are live tests of how well online video survives the move
from the PC to the gigantic screen, accompanied by entertaining
commentary from our judges and informative talks by relevant,
successful online video entrepreneurs. Past themes included episodic
content, parody, product placement and user-generated advertising, and
citizen news.
THEME
This month's theme is NON-HUMAN, by which we mean anything that doesn't
include human actors on-screen. We welcome animation, puppets, animals,
machinima, or whatever other interpretation you have. Submissions will
be accepted between August 1 - 21. The top six submissions will be shown at the live screening on August 28.
SUBMIT YOUR VIDEO!
This year the editorial team behind NewTeeVee and NewTeeVee Station will be choosing the finalists to be shown at each Pier Screening. Each event's attendees (both in person and via live streaming) will choose the winner by text message vote. If you'd like to enter, please use this submission form.
PRIZES
G-Technology will be giving 320G external harddrives to the top three winners as voted by the live audience.
The first place winner will also receive a 1 terabyte
harddrive and a free laptop engraving provided by Etchstar.
GET YOUR OWN CELL PHONE ETCHED AT THE PIER SCREENING
Etchstar will provide free onsite etching for iPhones and cell phones at the NewTeeVee Pier Screening. Just bring your phone and get it etched during the event. We'll have a bunch of cool designs to choose from.
FOOD & DRINKS
Refreshments will include beer and movie theater fare. (Think popcorn, beer and candy.)

The opportunity to watch, make, mash up and share online video is changing the nature of both entertainment and the Internet itself. NewTeeVee reports on the business of online video, monitoring the spread of broadband as it tears down traditional hierarchies that obstruct content creators from reaching their audiences. We cover everything from content delivery networks to next-generation media players, stupid cat videos to independent filmmakers, and venture-backed content startups to old guard media companies testing the online waters.
