Today Uganda celebrates Independence Day. It’s a day to remember how far the country has come and all the stories that make it what it is. As filmmakers, we think about the everyday lives and we try to share those stories through our films. We hope to keep telling stories that reflect our culture and its people.

Did you ever give up a traditional career for one in art? Would love to know. Here is a stubborn young woman who told her mother she would study film, and not law.

Golden Age Karate was a Vimeo Staff Pick. They did a great interview with director Sinda Agha about the making of the film -- that also covers what it was like to film during the pandemic.

Whether you're a filmmaker yourself or a film fan who loves behind the scenes stories, it's a great read. 2/2

#introduction

Dear readers and Fedi friends,

Thank you so much for your super enthusiastic feedback to my Fediverse promo video. I’m really touched.

My Fediverse posts about the video have been shared over 1500 times yesterday and I’ve been receiving hundreds of comments.

I thought that it may be useful to address a few points in a single post, so that I don’t have to repeat the same things over and over. Also: on Wednesday afternoons pre-schools are closed so I will be offline for the rest of the day.

Questions I will cover in this post:

• “Why can’t I share the video via PeerTube?”
• “Will there be foreign language versions of the voice-over narration?”
• “Can I share this video on X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok?”
• “I uploaded the video to LinkedIn and wanted to tag you but couldn’t find you.”
• “What is the license for the video?”

1) “Why can’t I share the video via PeerTube?”

The video is currently UNLISTED on my PeerTube on purpose: I don’t have a solid caching solution in place for that VPS (I’m self-hosting PeerTube) and I want to avoid the Mastodon Hug of Death – aka hundreds of Mastodon servers trying to fetch the cover image of my video and thus taking my VPS offline. I already experienced it twice and I didn’t want to take any risks with this video.

So please, even if you find its PeerTube URL, stick to sharing the URL from the blog post about it: https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

If you want to EMBED the video on a blog post, I’d happily share the code with you, so just DM me and I’ll send it over.

2) “Will there be foreign language versions of the voice-over narration?”

YES! I plan to record French and Italian VOs next week (I speak those languages too) and I have the perfect person for the German version, who agreed to do it.

This may take a little bit of time. Please remember this is all volunteer / unpaid work. These versions will come ASAP.

3) “Can I share this video on X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok?”

YES please! Feel free to share it widely in order to advocate for the Fediverse.

My amazing interns Sam and Riyen are currently producing short cuts of the video made to be shared on those Big Tech platforms. We’ll make them available soon for download.

4) “I uploaded the video to LinkedIn and wanted to tag you but couldn’t find you.”

Yep. I deleted ALL my Big Tech social accounts a while ago, so that’s normal. But thank you for the kind gesture.

5) “What is the license for the video?”

Thank you again for your wonderful support!!!

Elena
