Web Video Hits the Big Screen

Ever imagine what it'd be like to watch online video on a 60-foot square screen? It may sound antithetical to the private nature and low-budget look of most vlogs, but New York's Pioneer Theater is kicking off a week of web work on the silver screen this Wednesday night.
Under the title "Vloggers Unite!," the program
begins with the premiere of episode five of TheBurg.TV (www.theburg.tv.), an
internet sitcom about life in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, followed by Joe
Swanberg's "LOL," a video feature that hasn't been shown on the web,
but as you might expect from its title, has plenty of references to online
life.
Others included in the series are the experimental video
diaries of Charlene Rule at ScratchVideo.tv, the quirky shorts of
FatalFarm.com, vlogs from ThePan.org, the mini-travelogues of TurnHere.com, the
civic activism of NYCSR.org, and two serials centered on the digital era's most
popular topic, sex: Mark Harris's "Man-Hole" and Joe
Swanberg's "Young American Bodies" (as seen at nervevideo.com).
