SBIFF 2010 (Santa Barbara International Film Festival)
Joachim will be attending the SBIFF 2010. For two whole weeks he'll be working from IFA's temporary Santa Barbara office (ok, he'll be watching some movies too!)
If you are in the neighbourhood, give me a call (+31621274554) or send me an e-mail (joachim@ifa-amsterdam.com) and we'll hang out, drink coffee and discuss movies and the current state of the (movie) world!
IFA Project
IFA, together with selected partners, is developing a new content concept which will become a new outlet for our journalists.
DIBZZ(c) (workingtitle) will become available on all major mobile platforms (varying from IPhone, Android to Ipads and e-Readers) and bring independent, quality journalism on the go. The content will be developed in cooperation with (but definitely not under the supervision of..) the major players but will have its own unique and independent angle and voice. The content will be focussed on a specific topic, event or person and will be updated with every development surrounding the premiere, release or event. Giving our user the opportunity to specifically choose what he/she wishes to follow results in highly invested and loyal users of our content.
Check out the homescreen of the interactive demo for the IPhone we have developed to see what aspects a DIBZZ(c) can contain.
If you have any ideas concering this topic, let us know.
