i'm reposting a note from my friend kiki, who is the director of Reel Identities - New Orleans LGBT film festival this year. the call for entries is open, and there's a BIG push for local/regional films... so i'm trying to help get the word out. the website is: www.reelidentities.org, and all the info for submitting is on there.
here's kiki's update:
Hi everyone, I just wanted to give an update on the Reel Identities LGBT film festival. We're very excited about some changes, in both the venue and the dates.
The next festival will be during pride month, June 10-12, 2005, at the Southern Repertory Theatre in Canal Place.
One aspect of the film festival is jurying works submitted to our competitive division. The first screening will be this Sunday, Dec. 12, at 5 p.m. We will be watching approximately 2 hours of submissions of various lengths. Please contact me for the location.
If you are interesting in being part of the jury but can't make it to this session, please let me know. Sometime in the next few months we will probably schedule a backup.
Our next planning meeting will be Jan. 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lesbian and Gay Community Center, 2114 Decatur. Even though the festival is 6 months away, we have plenty of work to do now! We need volunteers for many aspects of the festival, particularly in getting the word out, soliciting sponsorships and membership, etc.
Even if you can't make it to the meeting or screening, feel free to get in touch with me if you'd like to add yourself to one of our three Yahoo groups: one for those actively working on planning, one for announcements about jury screenings and volunteer possibilities, and one for information about movies, plays and other presentations of interest to the community.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you, Kiki.
