How To Shoot A Ghost, the upcoming short film written by Eva HD and direct by Charlie, is headed for streaming service Kanopy after it debuts at Venice. Via indieWIRE:
IndieWire can exclusively reveal that Kanopy — the ad-free streaming service free for many library cardholders to use — has signed on as a producer and the exclusive library and educational distributor of the film.
Here's the official synopsis:
[...] “two newly dead young people meet in the streets of Athens, amid the pulsing cityscape and the ghosts of history. One a translator, the other a photographer, they were outsiders in life; in death they struggle with the residue of their longings and mistakes. They wander the city together, finding consolation in the difficult beauty of existence and its aftermath.” Josef Akiki and Jessie Buckley star.
And a word from CK on the Kanopy deal:
“Given the crisis of education in this country, it remains as important as ever for citizens to continue to have barrier-free access to the wealth of free resources that libraries have always offered,” Kaufman said in a statement. “Kanopy’s partnership with university and public libraries ensures that a rich digital archive of cinematic work from all over the world — from the newest documentaries to the collected adventures of Buster Keaton — will be available to a new generation of cinephiles.” (Source)
Interesting approach. Hopefully it'll be available in all countries.
