[Imc-outreach] International Education Week

[faith swords]

Actually, I think this would be really cool. We're putting together an 
international film festival at the university, but they're very restricted 
in what they can show to a public audience (personally, I don't think that 
the laws are anywhere near as stringent as the media center people seem to 
think they are, but that's how it works I guess).

It would be cool if the IMC could show more radical types of international 
movies. We can talk about when would be good times to do this (both in 
terms of what's already going on at the IMC and what's going on at 
International Week) next time there's a meeting.

Which is, incidentally, when?
