It’s a week away: our international launch of One Millionth Tower (1MT), a documentary about the HIGHRISE re-imagined.
The live events are happening in London U.K. in partnership with the phenomenal MOZILLA FESTIVAL, as this year they bring their attention to the theme of “Media, Freedom and the Web”. And on-line too, next week, we have a truly exciting international launch that we’ll be sharing with you soon.
One Millionth Tower (watch trailer here) teams a group of highrise residents in Toronto with architects and animators to re-imagine their surroundings and transform their dilapidated highrise neighbourhood into a vibrant, resident-led community. Using cutting-edge open-source technology, this interactive documentary enables a 3D storytelling environment within a web browser, incorporating the magic of cinema, architecture and animation. A hyper-local story with a global resonance in its vision for a more human-friendly urban planet – and world wide web.
So here are the events:
Mozilla Festival Nov 4-6, 2011 – We will unveil the documentary during the KEYNOTE on Saturday Nov 5, and we’ll participate in numerous Mozillific events including Fireside chats, master classes on The Connected Documentary, as the open-source cinema guru, Brett Gaylor launches Mozilla Popcorn 1.0.
On MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2011, we’ll be doing a special Central London screening at the Frontline Club, presented by Mozilla and our dear friends at POWER TO THE PIXEL. I’ll be joined on stage by Brett, as well as Liz Rosenthal of PttP. If you are interested in attending, send an email to highrise@nfb.ca, seating is very limited.
Over in Amsterdam, in mid-november, One Millionth Tower is also in competition in the digital arm of the world’s largest Documentary Festival, IDFA DocLab, where we took home the Inaugural Award for Digital Storytelling Award last year for our interactive documentary Out My Window.
Toronto launch plans for One Millionth Tower are in the works for early-December. Watch this space for more details!

[...]I am no longer certain the place you’re getting your information, but great topic.[...]…
I like this web site it’s a master piece! Glad I discovered this on google.
I think everything posted made a ton of sense. But, what about this? what if you wrote a catchier post title? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added something that makes people want more? I mean » UPCOMING WORLD PREMIERE | Highrise is kinda plain. You ought to look at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create post titles to grab people to click. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab readers interested about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it would make your website a little bit more interesting.
