Twittamentary looks at how lives connect and intersect within the Twitter community as the real-time web accelerates serendipity. Bonds are forged as a result of unexpected encounters between strangers as they share moments of their lives in real time. The film is created in the open spirit of the Web. Twitter users were invited to contribute story ideas, rich media and videos to the film via the movie’s initial submissions website . The launch of the Twittamentary website in August 2009 soon led to a whirlwind road trip across USA, where the filmmaker interviewed a wide range of Twitter’ers, from a travel journalist turned “twilebrity” to a homeless women who uses twitter from a public library to a prostitute who uses twitter as her personal GPS.

The final version of Twittamentary was recently shown at SXSW Interactive, Cinequest and Social Media Week (London, New York, Singapore, and Miami)

Twittamentary filmmaker Tan Siok Siok, will travel to Shanghai to introduce the movie and discuss the filmmaking process for Twittamentary.

在这个实时网络加速人们相遇相识的时代,推特纪录片关注人们的生活在推特(Twitter)社区如何连接和相交。当互不相识的两个陌生人不经意地遇见并共同分享生活中的某个时刻,他们之间就形成了一种连接。本片本着网络的自由精神而制作,邀请推特用户提供故事想法,上传视频至纪录片官方网站来丰富电影内容和传播电影。推特纪录片官方网站在2009年8月发布,立即引起了一场穿越美国的旋风般的旅程,导演采访了各种推特用户,从由旅游记者转变而成的“推特名人”到使用公共图书馆登录推特的流浪女,到使用推特作为定位系统的妓女。最终版本的推特纪录片最近已经在SXSW Interactive, Cinequest和Social Media Week上放映。 (伦敦,纽约,新加坡,迈阿密)。

推特纪录片的导演Tan Siok Siok将来到上海介绍介绍该片,讨论推特纪录片的制作过程。
