Synopsis: Kirby Ferguson explores creativity in a world where "everything is a remix". "Nothing is original", says New York-based filmmaker Ferguson, creator of this acclaimed documentary. Remixing is a folk art but the techniques are the same ones used at any level of creation: copy, transform, and combine. You could even say that everything is a remix. Our most celebrated creators borrow, steal and transform. Our system of law doesn't acknowledge the derivative nature of creativity. Instead, ideas are regarded as property, as unique and original lots with distinct boundaries. But ideas aren't so tidy. They're layered, they're interwoven, they're tangled. And when the system conflicts with the reality... the system starts to fail.
