Nice. I like it. See that your planned UK venue is in the Lake District - presumably with the Common People :) ? Always glad for an excuse to go to the Lakes.
If you want to do something down south as well - in London or Brighton, let me know and I'd be glad to help. Equally there are people here in the Midlands and out West. Please keep us up to date here in the Group.

I would like to take this opportunity to let you all know about a project that I am organizing and to invite the videoblogging community to collaborate and take this project to the next level. The name of the project is the 100 Second Film Festival http://100second.ltc.org Quite simply, it is an evolving collection of videos that are all one hundred seconds or less in duration. The collection is creatively commoned and projected at theaters, museums, bars, libraries, etc. Launched in 2005, the goal has been to use the web to share the videos giving people the power to build their own community based screenings. In 2007, that dream is being realized in new ways. There are two primary ways to collaborate: 1) Submit a video to the festival. This video should be of fairly high quality (ie - close to full frame and not Flash). Email the permalink to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tag a video on Blip with '100seconds'. There are no limits on theme or subject matter, anything that is one minute and forty seconds or less is acceptable. Oh yeah, the initial deadline for submissions is July 1st. More details here<http://100second.ltc.org/main.html#participate> 2) Create your own screening. This is a more time intensive but more powerful collaboration. Around September 1st - we will be posting all the videos from 2005, 2006 and the new submissions from 2007 in a group on the collaborative software platform SpinXpress - http://www.spinxpress.com/jdaniels/100_Second_Film_Festival. As an example, I am involved with at least two separate screenings in Massachusetts which will be composed of lots of local videos that will be posted to the Spin group. For the balance of the screening (an 80 minute show) I will be pulling videos from the Spin group. Another screening is being planned in the UK and that screening will feature local works plus a different slice of videos from the Spin group. Those interested can join our group and use the software to sort of sculpt their own festival out of the videos available. As a community event, it is usually a pretty successful draw. If you still have public access TV in your area you can work with them, too. Some of the best from 2005 - 2006 are complied into this video on the Internet Archive. http://www.archive.org/details/100_Second_FilmFestival_bestof20052006 If you would like any more information on the festival you can send an email to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Jason Daniels executive producer 100 Second Film Festival [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
