Omigi Distribution Platform Introduction
Sat | 5 Nov | 16.30-17.30 | Learning Centre
Free and open event. Come and learn about the Omigi beta service, a new way of distributing independent films, arts and cultural content to audiences at home and in public venues, from cinemas to village halls and arts centres.
 
Film, animation, archive, arts and cultural content are being integrated with editorial content and contextually linked to create meaningful and enjoyable content experiences for the user. The pilot uses the power of social networks to replace traditional high-cost, advertising-led marketing.
 
The beta service is testing:
  • new ways of adapting an existing and proven media delivery platform to deliver content over standard broadband networks and computer equipment;
  • what commercial models work and what technology, marketing and content tool are desired and valued by broadband networks and computer equipment;
  • the appeal to audiences of thematically linked and curated packages of content;
  • business models that are transparent and generate revenues across multiple income streams for rights holders and artists, distributors and other intermediaries.
The consortium behind Omigi: Golant Media Ventures, Twofour, Guardian News and Media, and BAFTA. The project is supported by the MEDIA Programme of the European Union and the Creative Industries iNet, part of Solutions for Business, funded by the European Regional Development Fund and led by South West Screen (now Creative England).
