Shripriya wonders, “wouldn’t it be incredible if the film festivals showed their programming online“?

I know that there are lots of issues around rights for the films and filmmakers may not want to hand over the online rights to any one festival. While it would be very cool to have the films available online for weeks or months, it may not be possible. So let’s make it easier - the festivals would have the rights to show the films online only during the festival itself - they could tie up with iTunes to make the downloads accessible only for a limited time. That means while Sundance is going on in Utah, I can be sitting in NYC and watching the same films at home.
