TO DO's

• Contact Lebanese movie makers to participate

• Start working on the marketing: posters.

• Contact Mansour for workshop on subtitling

• Reqesting volunteers for translation

• Brainstorm on encouraging people to come to cine club: movie discussions, quality of movies,

• fix space before the festival

IDEAS

• imad: provide a computer during the film festival, where people can get their own dvds burned and provide a donation box where they can leave what they want instead. It will be a good way to slam copyright. We did it few days ago in barcelona and even the mainstream public reacted wonderfully. (the poster can also invite people to bring their own collections to share with others, or bring their own laptops to make space for more people to copy stuff)

• Put title - theme - synopsis - running time - format (DVD, Divx, etc) - Language - Subtitles

• Subtitles (What to do about them?) - we should have all the movies translated.

• Working title: indymedia Film Festival - Themes: activism, political,

• Plan to have discussion sessions along with movies

• Let the festival move around the globe! Put everything on a couple of dvd's and give them along to some imc'istas that go abroad and visit another imc...
