What happens when we reimagine film for groups? By turning a group of mobile phones and tablet computers into a set of co-ordinated screens for watching multi-segment films the collaboration will explore how film viewing becomes social and communal, building upon the desire to be together, whether in public, at the dining table or in front of the TV.

Studio residents Tim Kindberg and Charlotte Crofts are developing The Nth Screen, an application for running linked video across multiple screens as part of a REACT Strategic fund programme. They will share with us their findings from recent workshops with film makers and some early demos of how we might watch content together across multiple screens.

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday.

Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do.

After the Talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm.

Let us know if you’d like a tour of the space and we'll be happy to show you around. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk
