  • Aleen Stein, "the mama of multimedia", had a speech in Zagreb on October 25th

    Our DECro program continued in Zagreb.
    On October 25th at Drama Academy (Akademija dramske umjetnosti, Trg maršala Tita 5) we hosted Aleen Stein, founder of Voyager, Organa, Criterion Collection and many other cool things in multimedia and film.

    We heard many interesting facts and some insider stories and anecdotes about the film and new media production in the United States.

    Aleen also did some interviews: for the leading newspapers "Jutarnji List" and "Slobodna Dalmacija", and for the coolest radio station in Zagreb, Radio 101. The transcript of the interview (Croatian only) and excerpts & short audio clip (that's in English) are available on their website.

    In one of the interviews Aleen also mentioned that they are considering publishing of our "Croatian Tales" project DVD within their newest project - "Criterion Kids Collection"! :-)

 

  • About Aleen Stein
  • Aleen Stein is in multimedia from its very beginning in 1980s, and it could be said that she was one of the people who "invented" multimedia and digital publishing as we know it today.

    She was a co-founder and president of legendary Voyager Co, a publishing company that started with laserdiscs in 1984 and later did so many exciting projects with CD-ROMs and DVDs, including the first consumer interactive CD-ROM "Companion to Beethoven's Symphony No. 9" in 1989, the best-selling CD-ROMs such as "Who Built America" and "Macbeth", the performance pieces of Laurie Anderson and many others.

    Voyager's Criterion Collection is a famous label that publishes film classics, first on laserdiscs and later on DVDs. Criterion pioneered many innovations in the way movies are presented on DVDs that have become standard today (letterbox, director's comments, bonus materials etc.). Starting with "Citizen Kane" and "King Kong" on laserdiscs in 1984, they published more than 300 classics and special editions of contemporary films, and they also introduced many foreign filmmakers to American market (Godard, Kurosawa, Fellini, Bergman, Tarkovsky, and many others).

    In 1995 Aleen founded Organa, a new media publishing company that produced award-winning interactive titles such as "P.A.W.S", "The Book of Lulu", and "Salt of the Earth".
