The Hunt For Gollum Screens At Internet Week Europe




The Hunt For Gollum is being shown at a free London screening during Internet Week Europe on Thursday 11th November. The film, an independently made prequel to The Lord of the Rings was made and distributed over the net and has reached over 10 million views. The unofficial 40 minute adaptation was crowd sourced by the Internet community and has had an overwhelming reception from fans.

Internet Week began in New York City in 2008. In 2010, it comes to Europe for the first time, with a five-day calendar of web-focused events taking place throughout London. The idea is to raise the profile of Europe’s digital industry, as well as the companies and organizations who participate.

The Hunt For Gollum is showing as part of Internet Week Europe, with a screening hosted by Framestore next week.
