Grassroots Film & Video Festival
4522 S. 2nd - Austin, TX 78745
        512.441.4701

This is an invitation for you  to submit your video and/or film projects
for
the first annual Grassroots Film and Video Festival, June 19, 20, & 21,
1998, in Austin, Texas.  The GF/VF is part of the the Grassroots News
and Media Conference hosted by the Grassroots News Network (GNN).
The festival is a great place to present your work to worldwide media
groups and independent media producers.

The GNN is a coalition formed by members of community radio stations
that has now grown to include micro-broadcasters, print journalists,
community organizations, and independent producers.  The objective of
the Conference is to allow for these diverse and varied parts of the
coalition to gather, set up a structure, and learn what each other is
doing.  We can all help each other in our struggles because we are all
in
the fight -- to allow for alternative voices to be heard in the media.


*PURPOSE*

The purpose of the Grassroots Film and Video Festival is to showcase
progressive film and video works that focus on issues that are not
recognized by mainstream media or works that tackle issues in ways not
done in mainstream media.  The emphasis is on content, though we will
not exclude a piece of work simply because it has style.


*SUBMISSION*

Please submit a 1/2" VHS copy of your work.  The film/video work must
be completed and postmarked by Friday, April 17, 1998, to be included in
the festival.  Notices of acceptance will be mailed no later than May
1st
1998.

All submissions will be reviewed by a panel elected by the Austin branch
of the Grassroots News Network.

There is a $10 registration fee for each submission.

The address to send your work to is:
