Welcome
We invite you to join us from noon-1 p.m. ET on May 31, for an online OVEE broadcast featuring in-depth conversations with two of the five 2016 Media Impact Festival honorees: Across the Line and Do Not Track.
Since 2014, Media Impact Funders has been showcasing the work of producers dedicated to creating documentaries in the public interest through our annual Media Impact Festival. Last year, we celebrated the power of interactive technologies to deepen the relationship between news and documentary projects and their audiences. Our 2016 selections—celebrated at our annual Media Impact Forum—span a range of interactive techniques, participatory reporting, physical installations, and personalized digital experiences.
Through a partnership with OVEE, an online cinematic social visual experience created by ITVS, we’ll conduct interviews with Margaux Missika, producer of the interactive participative documentary Do Not Track and Molly Eagan, vice president, planned parenthood patient & employee experience at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, producer of the virtual reality experience Across the Line. We’ll demo the projects so you can experience the innovative ways these interactive technologies impact society, and engage in an online chat with all of you.
Video Descriptions
MIF 2016 Festival Honorees - Across the Line/ Do Not Track Part 1
Across the Line
Watch this virtual reality video in your GoogleCardboard player with your phone through the YouTube app! ** Across the Line is an immersive virtual reality experience that puts the viewer in the shoes of someone who is trying to access a safe and legal abortion by offering a new experience that can help people better understand what thousands of women face when they seek health care. Using documentary footage and a collection real audio, viewers gain an intimate knowledge of the harassment and intimidation outside and compassion inside health centers across the country. Nobody should have to face harassment or threats in order to get health care services. This VR film is helping us change the conversation around access to health care services and empowering supporters during those conversations on ways to stand against the current attacks on reproductive health care. We will continue to do everything we can to make every Planned Parenthood health center a warm, welcoming, safe place for patients. Across the Line was co-produced by 371 Productions, Emblematic Group, and Custom Reality Services VR Lab. Planned Parenthood Federation of America served as an executive producer and consulted on the film’s script.
