CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: IMC Film Festival, February 6-8, 2009

*This February 6, 7 and 8th, the Urbana Champaign Independent Media Center
(IMC) <http://www.ucimc.org/> will be hosting the IMC Film Festival (
www.imcfilmfest.org <http://production.ucimc.org/node/add/film>).  This
three day celebration of the art of cinematography will highlight local and
independent artists and kickoff monthly IMC Film Nights.   It will also be a
chance for local and independent filmmakers to share their work and connect
with other artists, community members, and organizations.  The festival is
open to submissions and we are advertising widely within the artist and
art-supporting communities.  The IMC also has a wide support base of almost
600 different community members and volunteers.  We anticipate a strong
turn-out for this event.

The IMC Film Festival will be open to all, free of admission charges.  We
are inviting local businesses, regional film makers, and production
companies to be sponsors.  As a thank you to our proud sponsors, we will
list supporting organizations on promotional materials, the official IMC
Film Fest program, our website, and at the event.  Additionally, you are
invited to upload your logo and website links to the IMC Film Festival
website (www.imcfilmfest.org <http://production.ucimc.org/node/add/film>).
This is a great way to introduce your business or non-profit venture to a
wide audience.   We would also ask that you share information about the Film
Fest and your sponsorship with your patrons.*

*The IMC Film Fest will benefit the IMC's Production Group and the IMC as a
whole.  The Production Group facilitates independent video and audio
projects for TV/radio/Web by members of the Urbana-Champaign community. We
manage the IMC Production Room, a computer lab and digital studio for
learning and producing media.  We provide a workshop environment to improve
our own understanding and professional experience in multimedia technology
and to share our knowledge with others through hands-on training and citizen
journalism.  However, as a non-profit, we need community support to maintain
these facilities and reach out to community members.
