[CIMC-work] urgent- Amsterdam activist video exchange

[Garth Liebhaber]

Hey gang- our man Matt sent me this.  I myself don't have a positive answer- can someone help.  ie, 
what is John Groot's email?

also, I want to get a vote at this sunday's meeting on what if any funds CIMC will give to Matt to buy 
films.  If CIMC is not, I will front Matt money.-Matt, can you tell me your mailing address?

Ed-
 can you put out an urgent city wide call for local activist videos?!  
{also please fwd to J, I don't know his email}

Garth- what videos/media can the IMC assemble asap?

cuz if there's Dutchies at buddy this weekend, & if they're headed
straight back to the NL from Chi & have room in their luggage, we could
throw together a care package for Kata & her A'dam squatter friends,
would the Impakt folks be so kind as to convey it.  that would save
massive on postage.  grab a bunch of Lumpen issues, Select, Chi IMC
stuff, whatever.  there was so much international IMC/activist video
screenings, exchanges, & individuals passing through Amsterdam...
tremendous.  and English was the default lingua franca.  we need to
plug into that, give them what we've got to offer.  some of the ot301 &
www.squat.net/cia folks dug Lumpen from issues I passed on while living
there & really wanted to start up a regular issue exchange with some of
their pubs.  ppl in general were very curious about what life was like
for "people like us" in the USA.

HOWEVER, it would be best for us to convert everything to VHS-PAL first
so that they could go straight ahead & play it on Euro VCRs.  we can do
this at various video shops catering to immigrant communities, but it
can get expensive quick.  Ed- when do the Impakt ppl leave?
