Re: [Wikimedia-l] documentaries about Wikipedia - Wikimedia-l
While this is not a documentary per se, this video is a “reel” of the best videos of the Wikimedia movement strung together that in the US, we’ve played before edit-a-thons and events. It’s about 25 minutes in total, and there’s a countdown timer in the upper left hand corner that helps give folks a sense of when an event starts.
We’ve found this helps provide some energy to the room and is useful for people new to the movement to see human faces behind projects all around the world. It was used at Wikiconference North America, the United Nations, and Wikimedia DC edit-a-thons. You’re welcome to use it and to give us ideas on how to improve it.

Dear all, We (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Wikimedians_User_Group) have been invited to talk about Wikipedia in one of Iranian well-known and respected academic gatherings. As part of this we have 40 minute time to show a film (preferably a documentary ) about our movement, I am aware of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_about_Wikipedia but I would like to know if you have anything else in your disposal?
