feeling listless

Film The issue of remixing other director's film work hasn't really been explored. Most studios essentially remix what the director wants before a film is released anyway. Much of anything else happens underground. The Phantom Edit was a good example, and here is another as the creatively named Spooky remixes WG Griffith's Birth of a Nation:

"Last week, Spooky projected the film onto a large screen, adding layers of visual effects. An image of a fully robed Klansman underlay the scene depicting the South's surrender at the end of the war. An image of a young Southern woman looking at cotton cloth for a dress was followed by an image of slaves picking the cotton. Spooky also added material, such as images of a dance performance inspired by Southern history. And the soundtrack was of course his creation, a mix that ranged from a rendition of "Dixieland" to the type of beat-driven music one would hear in a club."

Not sure if this will be the next big thing. More than music, film has a narrative flow, the disruption of which tends to negate the whole point of making it in the first place. We'll see.
