Vimeo API: Announcing the first Vimeo Hackday! And a new API!
We’ve been hard at work building a brand new version of the Vimeo API (dubbed API 3.0) and we’d like to invite you to join us at Vimeo HQ to try it out!
We’ll be here May 4th from 11am to 7pm to help you build apps on the new API. The best creations will be featured on our blog and dev site.

UPSTREAM COLOR is that sci-fi movie thing everyone is talking about. You’ve heard the names Shane Carruth (he’s the director) and Primer (his first film, you should see it) thrown around a bunch.
We are extra excited to work with Shane because he is the epitome of DIY artist/Renaissance man, working independently on every aspect of the film, and taking charge of his own distribution. Preorders for UPSTREAM COLOR start now and the film will be released on May 7.

MINECRAFT: THE STORY OF MOJANG is now live and very ready for you to watch. Cue blocks on blocks on blocks.
Even if you’ve never played the titular game, MINECRAFT: THE STORY OF MOJANG is awesome. What started as a game by an independent designer has now exploded into the world with a shower of cubes, fans, and inspired creativity to build anything. And everything.
p.s. There’s even a Deluxe Edition for all you Minecraft superfans.
Over the past several months, we have been working closely with our filmmakers to build the tools and features they need to succeed in the digital world. We’ve had the pleasure of helping release some fantastic films you may have heard about. At the same time, we’ve also been quietly working on building a product to let any filmmaker, anywhere in the world, have access to simple and powerful digital distribution. While we continue to polish the product, we couldn’t help but share some sexy, behind-the-scenes screenshots (using dummy numbers).
We know that the most important thing for a filmmaker to do is to strengthen the film brand through their own website. The VHX tools capture all the information needed to optimize film sales and reach your audience. Furthermore, we’ve built a simple yet robust site theming engine to make your film’s web presence a gorgeous experience.
We are starting to onboard films now, in order to gain feedback and make VHX the best product imaginable. We’re opening the floodgates in April! Are you in?
Super proud of what this team is accomplishing and even more excited for the filmmakers that will be using this product.
All wet rock dreams now coming true: SOUND CITY is ready for you to watch right now.
We saw Dave Grohl and the entire SOUND CITY crew turning heads at Sundance Film Festival last week and couldn’t be more excited for this online release. We are currently taking a Friday air guitar break to celebrate…you should probably watch the movie and join us. DO IT FOR ROCK AND ROLL.
