Mini Movie Fest: Pangea Day at DOM

The Pangea Day Mission & Purpose
Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film. Why? In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it’s easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that – to help people see themselves in others – through the power of film.
Event: May 10, 2008 1–5pm at Denver Open Media
Project Description
This presentation of MMF is thematic and assignment based. Prior to a screening as part of Pangea Day hosted at Denver Open Media (DOM) on May10, 2008, Hideous is placing a public call for participation.
This public call asks participants to make Mini Movies in response to series of proposed questions related to Pangea Day (see below). Participants are asked to share their Mini Movies on a dedicated video-sharing website for broadcast during Pangea Day at DOM on public access television–Comcast Channel 56 in Denver and streamed at www.denveropenmedia.org/livestream.
In addition, people are invited to interview live during the event at DOM. We will be providing an outdoor video booth at the corner of 7th and Kalamath (map) where participants are encouraged to express their views and responses to the questions posed by Pangea Day. Your response(s) will be aired live during the event on Comcast Channel 56 in Denver and streamed at www.denveropenmedia.org/livestream
Guidelines on how to participate:
1. Choose from these 2 questions and produce a short 1-3 minute (or under 100MB) video expressing your thought(s):
–What is your notion of commonality, and how does that affect your relationship to community, society and culture?
–How does TV and film bring us together, or pull us apart?
