The following post is from Jonathan Gray, Community Coordinator at the Open Knowledge Foundation.
The Open Knowledge Foundation is pleased to announce the release of #opendata, a new short film clip about open government data. The film includes interview footage with numerous open government data gurus and advocates, which we shot at last year’s Open Government Data Camp. You can find the film at opengovernmentdata.org/film.
If you’re interested in finding out more about the Open Knowledge Foundation‘s work in this area you can visit opengovernmentdata.org, a website about open government data around the world for and by the broader open government data community.
If you’re interested in meeting others interested in open government data around the world, please come and say hello on our ‘open-government‘ mailing list.
We are currently in the process of subtitling the film in several other languages. If you’d like to help translate the film into your language (or review or improve a translation) please fill in this form and we’ll get in touch with you with more details as soon as we can!

Is this available in an open format?
I am not certain whether a closed format constitutes a technological restriction http://www.opendefinition.org/okd/#4-absence-of-technological-restriction but still would be nice if primary availability was unambiguously open, ie webm or ogv.

Why you don’t provide movie downloads?

Rufus raised the cost topic just after Rob’s words. If it really is costless as suggested why is theyworkforyou.co.nz no longer being kept uptodate?

jon, costless or cost reducing for the existing information provider is very different from costless for one external, volunteer individual hacking from outside the system.
