To spice things up, we will accompany the process of the Collective Intelligence Script Writing with the NFT graphic series.
You can find it here: https://crypfilmlounge.wordpress.com/nft/

And all your suggestions for the main character are here: https://crypfilmlounge.wordpress.com/collective-intelligence-script-writing
Don't hesitate to invite your friend with more suggestions for the main character. The more suggestion we have, the more options for the voters and therefore more interesting story to tell.

Thanks for the great ideas, but we need more for the fair voting and exciting storytelling. Just give it to us, everything. Even the wildest one.

Have you ever dreamed to see on the silver screen a movie about crypto written not just by one person, or even by a group of people, but by the whole community? The Community of people that for the past decade has grown and evolved, becoming the true ant hive with its sophisticated network of interconnections, ties and roles. If your answer is YES, welcome on board. If you answer is NO, welcome on board. If you answer DO NOT KNOW, you guessed it, welcome on board.

Writing a script may sound like a quite complicated process. But in reality is not such a big deal as long as you understand  the requirements for its structure and the basic elements: main characters (a protagonist and an antagonist), their background story (names, professions, life views etc.) and the plot (introduction, culmination and resolution, which are usually called act one, two and three). Each of these block has multiple subsection. We will go through all of them. But we will do it slowly, following the principal “from simple to complex”.

How are we going to make all this collective writing work, you may ask? Well, we follow the rule of consensus of majority via voting. First step – the values are suggested by the members of Community, second – voting, third – the value that got the majority is added to the script.

For example: the age/gender of main character. The majority has voted for the proposed values of 22 years old/male. The main character becomes a 22 years old male.

All the values are divided into two categories: fixed values (age/profession/gender of characters, etc.) and flexible values (events, twists, dialog lines, number or characters, etc.) Fixed values can not be reversed when they added to the script, while flexible can. It allows the plot to be more flexible and unpredictable (like a river flow in spring) instead of being stiff and foreseeable as a straight line.

If you think that these rules sucks, don’t worry. They are not immutable. A proposal to amend the rule, to add a new one or to remove existing one, supported by the majority of the Community members via voting, WILL AMEND the existing Rules of the Collective Intelligence Script Writing.

So, enough talking. Let’s the process begin.

BLOCK: One | SUBSECTION: The main character | ID: 00001
Values for suggestion: Name/Gender/Age/Occupation

Suggestions can be posted in this thread.
All suggested values will be added to the Table of Values for subsequent voting.

From philosophical point of view everyone of us deep down is a filmmaker. Each and every one of us writes every day a new page of the script for our own film calling "My life". For some of us it is a soap opera, for others - a blockbuster or may be a crime drama, you name it. So, why not to transcend this scripts into the real films. All you need is just to set you imagination free and let your wildest idea splash out on paper or text editor. Only sky is the limit when it come to creativity. CryptoFilmaking Lounge was created exactly for this reason. There everyone can be a scriptwriter or a filmmaker.

We are happy to announce that  CryptoFilmaking Lounge has finally opened its doors.
Within it cozy walls you can recharge your creativity, suggest an idea for a film or take part in the Collective Intelligence Script Writing.
https://cffest.xyz/cryptofilmmakinglounge/

Of course, everybody can participate. You can suggest an idea for film via CryptoFilmaking Lounge, mentioned above, or by posting it in this topic.

Crypto Film Festival itself should not been confused with CreativeFilmaking Lounge. The Film Festival itself do not need film ideas. It is a platform that meant to bring to the audience the best Crypto Theme Films made all around the globe. The film ideas are needed for CryptoFilmmaking Lounge. It is kind of "Crypto Film Ideas Generator" and it purpose is to inspire and stimulate filmmakers to conquer new heights in the CryptoFilmaking Universe.

Why not. Maybe it will inspire someone to write a script, assemble a crew and shoot a crypto masterpiece. Luckily nowadays, thanks to the digital technologies, filmmakers do not need tons of expensive rolls of film to make a movie.
By the way it is a good point to share your crypto film ideas.  We are thinking to make a section on the Festival website where everyone can suggest theirs crypto ideas for films. It would be a good place for filmmakers to draw inspiration and for Crypto Warriors to share their ideas, thoughts and life stories, they want to be brought to life via filmmaking.

A good, constructive criticism has never harmed anyone;) We will do some research in regards of alternative website hosting platform.

Thanks for the hint, may be we will.

We will add these ideas to the CryptoFilmamking Ideas Section, as soon as it will be ready on the Festival website.

Wouldn't it be great to see a blockbuster about the blockcain? All we need is just a good script, written by all Crypto Warriors together, in cooperation.

I think money or crypto not necessary need to be the main topic. When we watching movies, we watching other people, their lives and their interaction with each other and the world around them. We identify or not identify ourselves with the characters, feel sympathy for good guys and antipathy to the bad guys or vise versa. Crypto can be a component of the equation that influences, changes and modifies these relationships, brings new angles. Something, that gives people opportunities to be better or, sometimes, worse.

Fellow Crypto Warriors, we are pleased to announce that submissions to the Crypto Film Festival is now open! Deadline is the 1st of December 2021. For those of you who do not yet have under their belts a crypto theme masterpiece, there is still plenty of time to make one. The Hi-Tech/Information era, we live in, has made access to technologies, equipment and knowledge so easy, that nowadays everyone can be a filmmaker. All you need is an idea, a goal and the courage to cross the finish line.

In case you still not feeling like to be the next Spielbergin in the Crypto Filmmaking Galaxy, we would appreciate if you share the info about Crypto Film Festival with everyone, who might be interesting to take part – friends, colleagues, family.

You can find more info here: https://cffest.xyz and here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5319222.msg56411574#msg56411574
And you can submit your film here: https://cffest.xyz/film-submission

Anyone, living on the Earth can participate. Moreover, the Festival do not limit itself just by the surface, our brave explorers from the International Space Station can also take part and share their crypto vision

Definitely give it a go. Even if not selected for the main screening it could be shown in between the films during the screenings as a tension braker, to give the audience a laugh and provide some educational lessons about crypto.

Hopefully it would be both. Gift and prizes for the winners will definitely bring more attention to the Festival. They even may encourage non-crypto aware filmmakers to explore the Crypto Theme and make their next film specially for the Crypto Film Festival. But unfortunately, at the moment we do not know what will be our financial situation and abilities, so we don't want to give any empty hopes by advertising prizes for the winners.

Isn’t it a kind of philosophical question? From one hand, by dividing films on a bad and good one for the image of Bitcoin with the followed up banning of not good one from the screening on the Festival we will do exactly what crypto and this Community is supposed to fight against - censorship, centralization and unjust segregation. But from the other hand – by showing dark, anty-crypto films about an unrestrainable flourishment of all kind of scams and dark deals through the crypto technologies on the tides of dark web, we will plunge the image of Crypto, which is still in its maturation stage, even more dipper into the mud of scepticism. Nevertheless, all these dark sided problems do exist, despite our unconditional love for Bitcoin, and hiding them under the carpet will most likely not the way to solve them. Maybe exposing them will help to find a path, a solution for these problems, or maybe not.
Will the Festival be a fluffy and bright sided or dark and pessimistic, or may be a yin-yang styled one, balanced on both - good and bad? Well, it is definitely not up to CFFest Team to decide. It is up to the Community, the collective intelligence.

Thanks for the supportive word, appreciate it

Done. It's always good to have a couple of additional eyes, in case you missed something.

It would be probably correct to say ssl is not missing but not configured properly. Still working on it, a lot of blueprint to process

Promote the Festival > Form a Viewers Panel (VP)>Process the submitted films > Get the submitted films viewed by the VP> Form the short list based on the VP scores > Form the Jury Panel > Host the Festival (Summer 2022).

As it was mention before the project is not meant to sell or buy anything, its sole purpose is to promote the ideas and philosophy of cryptocurrency. Making profit would be kind of cynical lying to the community and to ourselves. Nevertheless, we still live in the capitalistic society and it is obvious that to host the festival it would be require to accumulate some resources. If there will be interested parties to support the festival and become a sponsor, we would appreciate it and be ready to cooperate. But to stay in the zone of transparency and accountability we want all the resources that will be accumulated for the festival to be monitored by the community. Moreover, the resourses even could be managed by the most trusted Crypto Warriors, whoever it will be can be decided by the community.

Cryptocurrency itself, as we see it, is just kind of a technical instrument, a building block that leading us to a new way of life, new way of interaction within the society. Thereby by "Crypto Theme films" we understand films that explore and expose a wide range of different aspects of human lives touched by this new way of interaction. Dry, technical videos about cryptocurrency itself hardly fall in to this niche, but being supporter of equal chances for all, we do accept them as well. The Viewers Panel than decide who will make it into the short list.

Make sense. We do expect the majority of the films to be submitted from the filmmaker professionals who are bitcoin enthusiast, rather than bitcoin professionals who are filmmaker enthusiast. But once again, being a supporter of equal chances for all, we do spread the word about Crypto Film Fest among Bitcoiners.

Thanks for the link, will do

Thanks for the hint, working on it.

Idea is good, but it probably has to be a different project. It is quite difficult to mix together the film festival and the platform for filmmakers where they can get grants for their crypto films, let's call it Crypto Films Funding and Development Initiative (CFFDI). But though Crypto Film Festival can promote the CFFDI and vice versa. There also can be a section at the film festival where films, produced thorough the CFFDI would be presented.
The only question is how to get it working.
One option is to make something similar to Kickstarter: filmmakers can post their project in development and ask Crypto Warriors to support them.
Another option is to bring it to the whole new level. Get support from the crypto whales, form a committee, announce the grant (once a year, half a year). Filmmakers will submit their crypto film projects in development (probably it will be focused on short films: the budget is relevantly low, so more filmmakers could get a chance to realize their crypto film ideas and bring more awareness of the crypto world to the masses). Committee than will study the submitted projects, make a short list, do some pitching with the filmmakers and award the grands.
Something like this.


This project is definitely not limited to the Russian and Belarusian language. The screening will take place in Belarus, so the main audience will be locals and we have to respect their ability to understand what they will see. This is the reason for Russian subtitles. But the films can be of any language. As it stated in the Rules the films will be screened in original language. If the majority of the shortlisted films will be not in English language (what is quite doubtful) than it is quite possible that they would be subtitled in English as well, in order to respect our guest from abroad. Or there will be a separate screening. Possibilities are endless.


Your suspicion is understandable. Most of us were witnessed a lot of scams, shitcoin ICO's rains etc. But this project is not about selling or buying anything. This project is about promoting Crypto Ideas.  If we want to steal films from filmmakers, we probably do it in the different way and do it probably in all genres - not just limit ourselves to Crypto Theme. Moreover, I bet that filmmakers, who made a short film about crypto, want to promote its ideas and would probably give it away for free anyway, to spread the Crypto Philosophy.
But nevertheless, all the films are submitted via Film Festival platforms (Filmfreeway, Festhome, Clickforfest ets.) which have some level of protection and required additional permission from a filmmaker for a film to be downloaded.

The main goal of the Crypto Film Festival is to popularize the philosophy, ideas and technologies of cryptocurrency via such a universal artistic form of communication as film-making. By bringing the best films of the Cryptocurrency Theme from all over the world to the international audience, the CFFest Team hopes to contribute to a better understanding of the cryptocurrency, its role and place in our daily life, present and future.
