01
The ask
A festival about peer-to-peer needed an identity, and a record of itself.
Paris P2P gathers the people who build distributed systems. It needed a mark that would read on a poster and on a badge, and it needed its days to exist afterwards as something you can watch.
02
The constraint
A free festival has no budget for a film crew.
Paris P2P is free to attend, and 5 days of dense technical programming still had to be covered, then cut. The crew that did it belongs to the cooperative that produces the festival — which is why the coverage exists at all.
03
What we built
An identity, and the days on record.
The visual identity, coverage of each edition, and the Edition #0 aftermovie.
04
What happened
An audience that builds this for a living.
The programme drew talk tracks from the Protocol Labs, IPFS, libp2p and Berty protocol teams.
5,000
people across 5 days at Ground Control, Paris, free to attend.
Produced by the coop, filmed by the coop.
“In five days it covers a diversity of subjects tied to the very specific problems of peer-to-peer, with a deeply technical approach.”
