Filminute launches 2 shows on the Adobe Media Player

We are very pleased to be on the Adobe Media Player broadband broadcast platform. Filminute can now broadcast "shows". We have launched with two shows.

The first show individually presents the 25 films shortlisted at Filminute 2008.

The second show is provides some of the background behind Filminute. Starting off from Vancouver with host Peter Shinkoda, we jump to Bucharest then London for brief comments from the Filminute's Co-Executive Directors John Ketchum and Sabaa Quao. The commentary is interspersed by presentation of 5 films at a time until the full shortlist of 25 films from Filminute 2008 have been shown. Here's a snapshot of the Adobe Media Player interface.
