Executives from sites like Hulu, Vimeo and YouTube will be present, too.
That means some of the movies premiering here, like the opening night documentary “What Happened, Miss Simone?” about the musician Nina Simone, will be accessible to viewers at home in a matter of months. Netflix (NFLX, Tech30) snapped up streaming rights to that film last month.
Sitting alongside the Internet streaming execs will be their counterparts from television networks, including HBO, Showtime and CNN, the owner of this web site. On Thursday Showtime acquired the TV rights to “Dreamcatcher,” a documentary about a foundation that fights human trafficking, a few hours before the film’s premiere.
