The Film

Bitcoin mining is making global headlines for its electricity consumption, which exceeds that of Argentina, Norway, and many other developed countries.
The computers that run the Bitcoin network, which “mine” new coins, are very energy intensive, pushing miners to the corners of the world where electricity is cheapest.
What are the ripple effects and implications of this industry, which capitalizes on stranded energy sources, and what are the consequences for the surrounding communities and the environment? DIRTY COIN is a thought-provoking documentary directed by Alana Mediavilla that delves into the controversial world of Bitcoin mining.
The film challenges conventional wisdom about the environmental impact of Bitcoin and explores how this emerging technology could drive significant improvements in our energy infrastructure.
Through a combination of expert interviews, on-the-ground investigations, and compelling narratives, DIRTY COIN seeks to reshape the dialogue around Bitcoin data centers and their capacity to contribute positively to global energy solutions. Premiering to critical acclaim and winning Best Movie, the documentary sets the stage for a broader discussion on the future of energy and technology.

We are generally able to screen at most Venues, and add Venues to our network. Please email [email protected] with the info on the cinema, and we will reach out to them.
We generally are not able to move the expiration date because we need to give the theater time to book the screening, assign an auditorium, receive the content, etc. That being said, we can certainly move out the Event date which will automatically move the expiration date as well.
The tipping point is based on the amount it costs to rent out the theater for a screening. These rates are set by the theater, so we are generally not able to lower this number.
Yes, please email [email protected] and we can assist you with moving your screening to a new location.
Theaters generally do not like booking 2 screens for Gathr events on the same evening. If your Event is close to selling out, please email [email protected], and we will reach out to the theater in order to move to a larger auditorium to accommodate all of your guests.
