[CIMC-working] more coordinating on our film screening

[Garth Liebhaber]

okay foks,

1.  footage to screen.  If we got the Scott Ritter flick that could be a 
main feature.  Second, sounds like this
       person Dan has some good footage of local and recent stuff including 
Chicago F.15, Iraq Peace Pledge Die-in, and the Leo Burnett action.  Between 
the two, I think  we would have enough content to show.   I would like to 
see featuring regular videographes as a part of our screenings-encourages 
them to shoot more.  :  )

2.  Place and time.  What are we looking at for a time?  also, could someone 
send me the logistics such as place and capacity.  If I get a chance I would 
go see it to help envision what we are doing.  Will we need to pay them a 
space rental fee?

3.   Publicity.  While I know we are trying to do this asap, we should allow 
ample time for publicity.  I have to say that I look to Chris and Dick for 
at least direction in this.  Would we do one of Hammerhard's FaxBlasts?  If 
there is a large action/event preceding our screening it would make sense to 
have 1/4 size fliers to hand out.  Can we allow like $20 of our funds to 
printing these?  Can we make one of these fliers into a giant poster to put 
on the window of the space we are showing?

4.  Miscellaneous thoughts.  As we are doing this as a fundraiser, should we 
offer Dan something for the use of his footage?  or is the opportunity to 
show his footage enough?  It would also be an opportunity to sell copies of 
his film....
     Beer and refreshment foods....can/should we sell beer?  other food?  
Invite the Food Not Bombs kids or make and sell our own burritos?
     Door packages.  I really like MLE's door project and am willing to give 
my labor support and money too.  If it doesn't materialize for the first 
showing we can still get it together for following screenings.  We should 
make it manageable by limiting it to the first 20 people at the door or 
somesuch.
      We shouldn't just close up shop when the films are done, but give 
people enought time to chill with eachother.  And of course one of us should 
make a spiel on the films, Indymedia's place in the anti-war movement and 
why they should utilize us for their local projects.

5.   I hope this helps us to get the fundraiser together. I don't mind being 
the coordinating person on this, though I am going for a job interview 
Friday at Northwestern.  But I think I will have enough time to follow this 
out.  ciao, Garth

okay folks,  as you see I am contacting NYC and Dan  whom it sounds like has 
some good footage of local and recent anti war actions.
    Need to know what is up on our potential space, also logistics, like who 
the contact is, where it is, and what it is.  What are we looking at for 
potential dates?  at least two weeks from now?  I know we want to do it 
asap, but we should allow ample time for publicity.
