International open source film project Stray Cinema has released a second lot of raw film footage, available from the website. The new footage was directed by NZ filmmaker Naomi Lamb and features characters in period costume set amidst the spectacular NZ landscape and an eerie back alley. What's the story? Well, that's up to you - Stray Cinema allows people to edit the footage into a short film, which can then be posted online and judged by the community.The top five films will be screened alongside the director's original cut at the Stray Cinema screening in New Zealand. The screening will be held six months from the day there are 30 film submissions on the website.

This screening is very important to Stray Cinema, as it navigates the film experiment out of the online digital world, and into the 'real world'.

The screening of the top five films will be coupled with VJs mixing the raw footage to live music. It will engage the online community, by webcasting footage from the event live onto the website, along with live web-chat, vodcasting and blogging.

Year by year, Stray Cinema aims to increase the quality of the raw footage they use. It is their dream to have David Lynch shoot the footage for Stray Cinema 2010.
